Sharad Pawar to Defend NCP Founder Status in ECI Hearing

Founder of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Sharad Pawar, announced his plans to be in Delhi on October 6 to present his perspective before the Election Commission of India (ECI) during the hearing concerning the split within his party. Speaking to reporters in Junnar, Maharashtra’s Pune district, Pawar stated that he has received the summons and will attend the hearing. The NCP experienced a division on July 2 when Sharad Pawar’s nephew, Ajit Pawar, led a surprise rebellion, aligning with Maharashtra’s Eknath Shinde government, along with eight MLAs.

Battle Over Party Name and Symbol

Both factions of the NCP have approached the ECI, asserting their rights to the party’s name and symbol. Sharad Pawar emphasized the significance of public opinion, stating that while individuals may hold varying political views, the founder of the NCP is well-known to Maharashtra and the rest of the country. He expressed confidence that the situation is favorable to his side.
