Sharad Pawar received this battle palms down with Supriya Sule securing 51.85% of votes and Sunetra Pawar managing solely 40.64%. In reality, Sharad Pawar trumped his estranged nephew comprehensively profitable 8 Lok Sabha seats, his best-ever efficiency in Maharashtra. Ajit Pawar, then again, might handle just one seat regardless of being part of the BJP-led ruling alliance within the state.
Reflecting on the Lok Sabha battle, Ajit Pawar mentioned one shouldn’t enable politics to enter residence. “I really like all my sisters. One should not enable politics to enter properties. I made a mistake in fielding Sunetra towards my sister. This should not have occurred. However the parliamentary board (of NCP) decided. Now I really feel it was flawed,” Ajit Pawar informed Marathi information channel Jai Maharashtra.
Ajit Pawar, who had cut up the NCP in July final 12 months and ultimately received the title and image of the occasion, has been pushed to a nook after a disastrous exhibiting in Lok Sabha elections. The NCP nonetheless doesn’t have a minister in Modi 3.0. This after the occasion refused to just accept minister of state with unbiased cost submit that was being provided for its chief Praful Patel.

What’s worse for the junior Pawar, the RSS had overtly questioned the BJP’s alliance with him after the Lok Sabha outcomes had been out.
An article in “Organiser” journal, which is linked to the RSS, had slammed BJP’s transfer and referred to as it “pointless politicking.” It had mentioned the induction of Ajit Pawar’s NCP into NDA had lowered the model worth of BJP.
“Maharashtra is a major instance of pointless politicking and avoidable manipulations. NCP faction led by Ajit Pawar joined BJP although BJP and cut up SS (Shiv Sena) had a snug majority. Sharad Pawar would have pale away in two-three years as NCP would have misplaced power with infighting between cousins,” RSS lifelong member Ratan Sharda had mentioned within the article.
“Why was this ill-advised step taken? BJP supporters had been harm as a result of they’d fought towards this Congress ideology for years and had been persecuted. In a single stroke, BJP lowered its model worth. After years of battle to turn out to be numero uno in Maharashtra, it grew to become simply one other political occasion with none distinction,” he had added.
Nevertheless, regardless of RSS criticism, Ajit Pawar stays part of the ruling coalition for now. However as Maharashtra gears up for the year-end meeting elections, the NCP chief stares at an unsure future. Little marvel, the junior Pawar, who was very aggressive vis-à-vis Sharad Pawar earlier than the Lok Sabha elections, appears to have softened his stance. Nevertheless, Sharad Pawar has made it clear that he can settle for Ajit Pawar again solely after consulting all leaders who stood with him after his nephew’s rebel.
