NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s comments on the rumours of his nephew Ajit Pawar’s political move. It’s interesting to note that Sharad Pawar has warned that the NCP would act firmly if anyone attempts to break the party, indicating that he is aware of the rumours and is taking them seriously.
It’s also notable that Ajit Pawar has expressed his desire to be the chief minister of Maharashtra and that the NCP can stake a claim to the CM’s post now, instead of waiting for the 2024 Assembly polls. This could be seen as a power move by Ajit Pawar and could further fuel the rumours of him cosying up with the ruling BJP.
However, it’s important to note that Ajit Pawar has denied the speculation of aligning with the BJP and has stated that he will remain with the NCP. It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold, but it is clear that there are internal dynamics at play within the NCP.
Notably, Ajit Pawar has denied speculation that he and a group of MLAs loyal to him might align with the BJP and said he would be with the NCP till he is alive. Sanjay Raut’s claim that the Shinde-led Maha Govt will collapse in 15-20 days is a significant statement and suggests that there may be internal tensions within the ruling coalition. It remains to be seen whether this prediction will come true or not.
Meanwhile, Ajit Pawar’s statement that the NCP can stake a claim to the Maharashtra CM post now, instead of waiting for the 2024 Assembly polls, is also a noteworthy development. This indicates that there may be a power struggle within the party, with Ajit Pawar potentially trying to position himself for a leadership role.
However, it’s important to note that Ajit Pawar has denied the speculation of aligning with the BJP and has stated that he will remain with the NCP. It’s possible that the rumours of him cosying up with the ruling party are just that – rumours – and do not reflect the reality of the situation. Ultimately, only time will tell how this situation will unfold.
