Singhvi stated that the opposing side’s argument, led by the faction of Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, will proceed at the next hearing. “A response to that has not been provided as of yet.” It is astounding, fascinating, and in my opinion, nonexistent in the law. They are expressing their refusal to take the organizational exam. They are aware that 99 percent of the NCP cadre supports the individual standing next to me, the founder who envisioned it. They are stating, “Ignore the organizational test; they’ve devised a new one that counts the votes of MLAs and MPs, in addition to something I’ve never heard of before: the votes of MLAs and MPs.”

Ajit Pawar asserted the support of forty-two MLAs, six MLCs, and two MPs from Maharashtra during the hearing. At the Election Commission, senior advocates NK Kaul and Maninder Singh presented Ajit’s position. “Under the circumstances, the petitioner submits that he enjoys overwhelming support in the Organisational Wing as well as Legislative Wing of the NCP and therefore the present petition may be allowed by the Hon’ble Commission by recognising the faction led by the petitioner to be the real Political Party,” Ajit Pawar stated in his written submission to the Election Elections Commission. Singhvi stated that these assertions are fictitious because Ajit Pawar is evading the established tests to verify them.

Ajit Pawar submitted an application to the Election Commission on June 30, two days prior to his declaration of rebellion and subsequent alliance with the Maharashtra administration, in which he asserted ownership over the party name and symbol.

Rude words used against Sharad Pawar: Jitendra Awhad

Leader of the NCP Jitendra Awhad stated that during the hearing, insulting language was directed at Sharad Pawar. As Sharad Pawar sat there, Ajit Pawar’s attorney stated that he had never run the party in accordance with democratic principles.

Pawar, who left the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and joined the BJP-Shiv Sena coalition last month, was speaking to reporters in Pune on Tuesday, following his attendance at a ceremony where Modi received the Lokmanya Tilak National Award.

According to him, the citizens of Pune stood on both sides of the highways as Modi’s convoy passed.

“I was in the same vehicle as Devendra ji (Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis) during the convoy. We did not observe any black flags during Modi’s arrival. When it was pointed out that NCP workers (of the rival faction) staged a protest and displayed black flags during the prime minister’s visit, Pawar replied, “In fact, we saw people on both sides of the road welcoming and greeting him.”

“From the perspective of law and order, any prime minister will be concerned with the atmosphere in the country. Nobody supported the current situation in Manipur. The prime minister has taken note of the situation. In addition, the Chief Justice of India has taken note. “Everyone has condemned what occurred there,” Pawar stated.

He stated that the Centre and the Manipur government are working to ensure that the perpetrators of the May 3 incident (in which two women were paraded nude) are punished.

Pawar stated that Modi works 18 hours daily. “During Diwali, while the rest of the country celebrates it at home, he celebrates it with army soldiers on the borders,” he explained.

His work has been on display for the past nine years. At the international level, there is no other leader as popular as Modi. The truth is absolute. I desire advancement. As an opposition party, we can organise protests and morchas, but the final decision rests with those in authority,” Pawar stated.

The NCP leader stated that he joined the BJP-Shiv Sena coalition government in Maharashtra to promote the state’s comprehensive growth.

“No other national figure enjoys the same level of popularity as Modi ji. Look at the infrastructure work he’s accomplished and the respect India receives internationally’, the deputy prime minister said.

From 2019 through 2022, Uddhav Thackeray and Ajit Pawar served as Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, respectively, as members of the Maha Vikas Aghadi. Political developments in Maharashtra have led to Uddhav joining the opposition while Ajit has joined forces with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of the BJP. Shinde led a rebellion and broke away with the majority of Shiv Sena MLAs and MPs.Uddhav reported that during the meeting, he urged Ajit Pawar to serve the state’s interests and address the problems confronted by farmers and other residents. I pleaded with him (Ajit Pawar) to make sure that, among all the political upheaval, essential concerns were not forgotten.

Uddhav added that he is familiar with Ajit Pawar’s character from their 2.5 years of working together in the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra as chief minister and deputy chief minister, respectively (2019–2022).Uddhav told the press that the nation-loving and democracy-loving parties had a meeting and had joined together after the 26 opposition parties met in Bengaluru and ended their meeting on Tuesday (July 19). This battle is not against any specific individual or group, as I said yesterday. This war is against totalitarianism. According to Uddhav, the opposition parties have banded together to fight the dictatorship in India because “parties and presidents and prime ministers and chief ministers come and go, but what is happening in the country is dangerous.” This alliance goes by the acronym I.N.D.I.A., which stands for the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance.

ANI reports that Devendra Fadnavis was seen departing CM Eknath Shinde’s residence late Thursday night after the meeting.

Earlier in the day, addressing recent reports of discontent among Shiv Sena MLAs regarding NCP leader Ajit Pawar’s joining the Shinde-Fadnavis government, CM Shinde made it clear that his government has emerged stronger and that he has no intention of resigning, labeling all such reports as ‘rumours’.

CM Eknath Shinde told ANI, “It is all just rumors.”

Regarding the schism within the NCP, Shinde stated that the party should reflect on all internal happenings. “They (NCP) should reflect on the current state of their party. “They need to investigate their party, because their own house is now broken,” he said. “Yesterday, I also held a meeting with our MPs and MLAs, and our government is getting stronger by the day,” Eknath Shinde told ANI.

“Now that our administration is composed of three parties, we have more than 200 legislators. No leader is dissatisfied, and everyone has faith in us. Our government continues to gain strength. We have the backing of PM Modi and Amit Shah,” the Chief Minister of Maharashtra told ANI. Shinde also presided over a meeting of Shiv Sena MLAs at his official Mumbai residence.

Earlier, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut stated that Chief Minister Shinde could be replaced in the coming days in light of Ajit Pawar and eight other NCP MLAs joining the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) administration in the state. Chandrashekhar Bawankule, the state president of the BJP, dismissed rumors that the state will get a new chief minister in the coming days, stating that the opposition parties are deliberately sowing confusion and that Shinde will remain chief minister.

“All of our senior leaders, including Devendra Fadnavis, have stated that Eknath Shinde will continue to serve as chief minister. He is performing admirably for the state. “The opposition parties sow confusion,” said Bawankule.

Ajit Pawar joined the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance in Maharashtra along with eight senior MLAs and took the oath of office as the state’s deputy chief minister for the fifth time on Sunday.

The post Maharashtra political crisis: Devendra Fadnavis leaves Varsha after meeting with CM Eknath Shinde appeared first on Republic Aeon.

This comes after media reports claimed Munde had met with Rahul and Sonia Gandhi and would shortly join the Congress. When queried about this, the president of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee, Nana Patole, stated that she is welcome to join his party if she so chooses.

A few days ago, it was reported that I had met Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi twice and that I would be leaving BJP and joining Congress. These press reports are entirely false. I guarantee that I have never discussed joining a political party with any party leader. I have never met either Rahul Gandhi or Sonia Gandhi…I intend to file a defamation suit against the channel…,” declared Pankaja Munde, national secretary of the BJP.

The report comes at a time when Maharashtra is experiencing one of its greatest political spectacles since Ajit Pawar led an NCP faction to join the coalition government of CM Eknath Shinde and the BJP.

According to Ajit Pawar’s faction, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) working committee meeting convened by Sharad Pawar on Thursday in Delhi has no legal standing, as reported by the PTI. Sharad Pawar has convened a meeting of the National Executive/National Working Committee/National Office Bearers/State Party Presidents of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) today in New Delhi, according to media reports, according to a statement released on behalf of Ajit Pawar.

“Ajit Pawar was elected as the National President of the NCP on June 30, 2023, with the overwhelming support of the majority of elected representatives of the NCP as well as the members working in different organizational posts,” the statement read.

According to the rebel faction’s statement, Ajit Pawar has filed a petition with the Election Commission claiming that he represents the true NCP and requesting that the party’s name and symbol be granted to him.

“On the same day as receiving the petition, ECI also received affidavits from forty Members of Parliament, Members of Legislative Assembly, and Members of Legislative Council. The commission received these documents officially on July 5, 2023, a person said on condition of anonymity.

Additionally, ECI has received a resolution enacted by his faction that elects Ajit Pawar as president of the NCP.

According to the source cited above, the commission also received a disclaimer from Jayant R. Patil, president of Sharad Pawar’s Maharashtra NCP unit. “In a letter dated July 3, 2023, Jayant R. Patil informed the commission that a disqualification proceeding has been initiated against nine members of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. The proceeding has been submitted with the appropriate authority,” the individual added.

Wednesday, HT reported that NCP factions have informed the Election Commission of the party’s division via letter.

Ajit Pawar and eight other NCP legislators joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and swore in as ministers in the Maharashtra administration on Sunday. Sharad Pawar, the patriarch of the NCP, and his son, Ajit Pawar, have since sanctioned a series of reciprocal disqualifications and appointments.

The post Ajit Pawar moves Election Commission for NCP name, symbol appeared first on Republic Aeon.

At the Nationalist Congress Party’s 24th Foundation Day celebration in Mumbai, where his uncle Sharad Pawar and other top party officials were in attendance, he proposed this idea.
I am informed that I don’t act harsh as the head of the opposition,” he continued, opening the door to further speculation.

“I was never interested to work as Leader of Opposition but accepted the role on demand of the party MLAs,” he admitted.

Pawar added that the decision on his request rests with the NCP’s leadership.

“Assign me any post in the party organization, and I will do complete justice to whatever responsibility is entrusted to me,” he continued.

After the MVA administration broke in July 2017 owing to a revolt in Shiv Sena, in which Pawar served as deputy chief minister, he assumed the role of Leader of the Opposition.

Notably, NCP head Sharad Pawar recently appointed his daughter and MP Supriya Sule to the position of working president of the party in Maharashtra. Another president who is actively working for other states is Praful Patel.

Telangana’s chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Prakash Ambedkar’s Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) are two political forces that, according to Ajit Pawar, must be taken seriously.

The Congress-NCP partnership was damaged in 2019 due only to VBA. We need to prevent the vote from being split among parties with similar goals. “We can’t just brush off BRS and VBA,” he said.

Rao, also known as KCR, is actively working to grow the BRS’s support base in Maharashtra and has recently held demonstrations in the Marathwada region to advocate for the election of a “kisan” (farmers’) government. The BRS has also begun recruiting new members in the western state.

The need to fortify the NCP in Mumbai and Vidarbha was another point that Ajit Pawar made.

Spending on Yoga Day activities amounts to crores, he said.

I inquired as to the whereabouts of Deputy Speaker Narhari Zirwal of the (Maharashtra) Assembly on Yoga Day. Hearing this, the audience erupted into laughter. “Zirwal told me he can’t bend because of his big stomach and people might laugh at him,” he remarked.

Newly appointed working president Supriya Sule emphasized the importance of establishing booth committees in her address to NCP leaders and office-bearers.

She also mentioned having senior MLAs who were also ministers train candidates in five or six constituencies.

Leaders should travel across the state. The Baramati representative stressed the need for transparency on party positions on key issues.

Sule also mentioned the Uniform Civil Code, adding that a conversation cannot be had or an opinion formed until a draft is completed.

She claimed that once Article 370 was revoked, tourism in Kashmir grew.

However, there is a lack of information regarding the total amount of money brought into the UT or the number of people from outside of Kashmir who have purchased property there. For what reason is Parliament still approving the budget for Kashmir? Inquired she.

Sule campaigned for a quota system to protect minority groups including the Muslim, Dhangar, Lingayat, and Marathas.

Jayant Patil, president of the state’s NCP, argued that the recent pattern of communal violence in Maharashtra may be traced back to places where the BJP is less powerful.

He claimed these occurrences were planned in order to sow discord and splinter the electorate.

Ajit Pawar and Zirwal, he said, should have been at the Yoga Day celebration at Vidhan Bhavan.

“I’ve seen pictures of people who are larger than you doing Yoga. At the very least, he said, you could have gone to watch the leaders of the ruling alliance do some yoga poses.

NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal claimed, “Had there been able leadership in 2014, the Congress-NCP would have still been in power,” a veiled jab at senior Congress leader and former chief minister Prithviraj Chavan. They had traveled all the way from Delhi to bring down the UPA government.
