After the split in the NCP party, the party has split into two factions. Ajit Pawar’s group is in grand alliance with BJP. Sharad Pawar’s group is in Mahavikas alliance with Congress and Shiv Sena’s Thackeray group. Mahavikas Aghadi has started building a march for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. These three parties can contest 16 seats each in Maharashtra in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
On the other hand, BJP has also started preparations for the elections. Bharatiya Janata Party, Shiv Sena’s Shinde faction and NCP’s Ajit Pawar faction will contest the Lok Sabha elections together. Ajit Pawar clarified this while talking to the workers on Saturday.
Maharashtra State Cabinet meeting was held in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Saturday. The meeting was attended by the entire cabinet including Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Second Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. After this meeting, Ajit Pawar interacted with NCP party workers in the night. At this time, Ajit Pawar told the workers, we want to increase the number of MPs in Marathwada.
Ajit Pawar said, “First the Lok Sabha elections will be held. I will know your strength in this election. It will be known soon in which assembly constituencies we are going to give candidates of Mahayuti. But, we must keep our feet on the ground and mingle with people. Just pretending doesn’t work.”
Ajit Pawar is currently trying to build a party in Marathwada. Meanwhile, Ajit Pawar has given instructions to the workers to prepare for the Lok Sabha in the workers’ meeting held on Saturday.
