Ajit Pawar

NCP MLA Atul Benke met with Sharad Pawar, hinting at possible future political alignments ahead of the October state Assembly polls.

Around two dozen NCP leaders from Pimpri-Chinchwad have defected to Sharad Pawar's faction, dealing a setback to Ajit Pawar ahead of key elections.

Shinde maintained close coordination with state Disaster Management Cell and other agencies, expressing hope for a swift return to normalcy.

This comprehensive budget focuses on tax relief, agricultural support, women's empowerment, healthcare, infrastructure, and youth development, aiming to bolster Maharashtra’s overall growth and welfare.

The Election Commission of India, in its order dated February 6, recognized the Ajit faction as the legitimate NCP, based on the "test of legislative majority."

SC pulled up the Ajit Pawar camp for allegedly exploiting the name and images of the NCP founder Sharad Pawar in their campaigning efforts.

The Election Commission of India has provided a one-time option to Sharad Pawar to claim a name for its new political formation and provide three preferences to the Commission.

Malik has the right to attend the assembly as an MLA, according to Fadnavis, who also stated in a letter to Ajit Pawar, the deputy chief minister, that "we (the BJP) do not harbour any personal animosity or grudge" against him.

Leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), Sanjay Raut, stated that the party will run on its symbol if the BJP grants tickets to legislators from the Ajit Pawar camp and Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena.

After the 2024 elections, Sharad Pawar expressed confidence that the Maha Vikas Aghadi of the Shiv Sena (UBT), NCP (Sharad Pawar group), and Congress will rule Maharashtra.
