Fresh tension surfaced within Maharashtra’s NCP after organisational changes and Sunil Tatkare’s meeting with Sharad Pawar triggered speculation over possible defections.
Sunetra Pawar secures a massive mandate in Baramati bypoll, rewriting national records and signalling a strong political shift, while the family urges restraint amid emotional victory.
Baramati bypoll sees a dominant early trend as Sunetra Pawar builds a massive lead, with counting underway across multiple states following April polling.
Sunetra Pawar enters electoral politics amid a legacy battle in Baramati, with voting underway and the bypoll shaped by Ajit Pawar’s sudden death earlier this year.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis defended Sunetra Pawar swearing-in as Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, dismissing all the controversies surrounding it as "pointless", here on Friday.
In his letter to the Maharashtra Governor, the lawyer has also stated that the very post of a Deputy Chief Minister is "unconstitutional" since such a post has not been mentioned anywhere in the Constitution of India, due to which the swearing-in ceremony was "illegal".
NCP merger talks were close to completion before Ajit Pawar’s death halted the process. Sources reveal what was agreed, what remained pending, and why uncertainty now prevails.
Incidentally, Ajit Pawar-led NCP MLA Amol Mitkari was the first to speak about what Gojubavi village sarpanch Kalyan Atole told Sharad Pawar on Wednesday.
Several other Pawar family members were also present at the venue. Sharad Pawar-led NCP MLA Rohit was the first to reach Sunetra Pawar's Sahyog Society residence along with his parents.
