The Sharad Pawar-led NCP is all set to join the BJP-led Maharashtra cabinet and the NDA Union cabinet in a few days, sources said here on Friday.
Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Ramdas Athawale said that Sharad Pawar and his NCP would be welcome in the NDA, if he joins the BJP-led ruling alliance.
The Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) submitted a memorandum to the President regarding the rising burden of fuel prices, the national examination system, and the alleged growing insecurity among minorities, among other issues.
According to the formula, the BJP will contest 11 seats, the Shinde-led Sena will contest 4 seats, and the Sunetra Ajit Pawar-led NCP will contest 2 seats.
Sources said that the BJP stand, which was discussed at a meeting of the Sunetra Ajit Pawar-led NCP on Tuesday evening, has not gone down well with her partymen.
The recent 'no vote no funds' statement Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar made during his campaign for local civic body elections came in for sharp criticism from his uncle and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) founder Sharad Pawar on Thursday.
Significantly, Sule wrote to the Maharashtra State Election Commissioner after Maharashtra BJP president Ravindra Chavan openly claimed that 100 councillors of the BJP have been "elected unopposed" in municipal councils and town councils across the state in the run-up to local civic body polls scheduled to begin on December 2.
Amid the escalating political tensions ahead of next year’s general election, Bangladesh's National Citizens Party (NCP) has issued a stark warning — pledging readiness for either a “ballot revolution” or a “bullet revolution,” depending on the nation’s political trajectory.
The Deputy CM also said that his son has not been named in any First Information Report (FIR) so far, “because only those who signed the registration documents were booked”.
Pawar's instruction will automatically mean that alliances can be struck even with the NCP, which is led by his nephew and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, sources said on Thursday.
