No Proof Of Dispute: Sharad Pawar Camp To Poll Body On Ajit Pawar's Demand
NDTV
"Ajit Pawar has not been able to demonstrate even prima facie that there exists a dispute In NCP," claimed the Sharad Pawar faction
The Sharad Pawar camp has told the Election Commission that Ajit Pawar's demand for the Nationalist Congress Party's election symbol is "premature" and "malafide" and should be rejected. His 'petition' to the Election Commission "does not reflect or evidence the presence of two factions of NCP," they have contended.
Ajit Pawar and MLAs loyal to him joined hands with the BJP-Eknath Shinde alliance in Maharashtra last month and took oath as ministers. Like the Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde, they claim they are the real NCP, since they have the support of a majority of party MLAs. The faction led by him have approached the Election Commission, claiming the party name and poll symbol.
They have told the Election Commission that Ajit Pawar was elected the chief of NCP through a resolution dated June 30, 2023, signed by an "overwhelming majority" of party members.
