Pawar v Pawar: Sharad, Ajit factions trade sackings as Maha crisis rumbles on

NCP crisis: Maharashtra deputy CM Ajit Pawar declared that Sharad Pawar is the NCP national president

              Praful Patel and Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar address a briefing in Mumbai. 

On Monday, groups led by Sharad Pawar and his nephew Ajit traded sackings, escalating the massive internal conflict inside the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). 

Praful Patel and Sunil Tatkare were expelled from the NCP by Sharad Pawar, the party's leader, who also fired Praful Patel as the functioning president of the organization. At a news conference, the Praful Patel and Ajit Pawar faction declared that Jayant Patil had been replaced as the state's NCP leader by Tatkare.

Ajit Pawar was appointed as the chairman of the NCP legislative section by Patel, who was once thought of as a close ally of Pawar Sr.

“I was appointed as vice president in the national convention held in September 2022 after which I have made several appointments. Patil was also appointed as state chief without internal elections on a temporary basis”, Patel said.

Anil Patil was appointed party chief whip, Rupali Chakankar was named state women's chief, and Suraj Chavan was named head of the NCP's youth wing, among other announcements.

“I have read that one has been appointed as leader of opposition and chief whip. LoP has to be appointed by the Speaker and the party having maximum MLAs gets it. The appointment has been made to create confusion among MLAs, which will not work. We have the support of majority of MLAs”, Ajit Pawar said.



In response to the behavior of the leaders present at the swearing ceremony on Sunday, the deputy CM stated, "We are in charge of the NCP, and what we are doing is in the interest of the party. They lack the authority to do anything, including send out notices. We'll make sure the MLAs don't encounter any constitutional problems.

Following his appointment as Maharashtra NCP chief, Sunil Tatkare stated that a meeting of the district chief, taluka chief, and other office bearers has been scheduled for July 5 and he hopes that everyone would be in attendance.

Have you forgotten that Sharad Pawar is the NCP national president, Ajit Pawar shot back when asked who will lead the breakaway unit?

"Some senior authorities have stated that they will consult the populace rather than engage in a legal dispute, however news conferences were held late at night and various choices were announced. It means nothing, he declared.

Pawar continued, "We are not here to drive anybody out
