The faction said those who were part of conducting organisational polls in the party in 2018 could not claim in 2023 that those elections were flawed.
The Sharad Pawar faction on Friday questioned before the Election Commission the very premise of the dispute in the Nationalist Congress Party, claiming those who were part of conducting organisational polls in the party in 2018 cannot claim in 2023 that those elections were flawed.
Sharad Pawar faction's counsel Abhishek Manu Singhvi said between 1999 and 2018, there were no allegations that Sharad Pawar was not the leader of the party or that the elections were faulty.
"It is for the first time in 2023 that an allegation was levelled that the polls held in 2018 and subsequently at the lower level were flawed and so was the national convention," he told reporters as the hearing continued at the Election Commission on Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's claim on party name and symbol.
