NCP power struggle | Ajit Pawar faction moves petition seeking disqualification of MLAs loyal to Sharad Pawar

The Hindu  

The rift within the Nationalist Congress Party has intensified with the faction led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar submitting a petition to Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar seeking the disqualification of 10 MLAs aligned with the Sharad Pawar group. The petition filed on Thursday by Anil Bhaidas Patil, the chief whip of the Ajit Pawar faction, was reportedly in retaliation to the Sharad Pawar group’s move to petition the Deputy Chairperson of the Legislative Council, Neelam Gorhe, on September 11 to disqualify the rebel MLCs of the NCP. The Sharad Pawar faction also filed disqualification petitions against 40 MLAs who had allied with Mr. Ajit Pawar. Rohit Pawar, MLA and Sharad Pawar’s grand nephew, said on Friday that leaders within the Ajit Pawar faction were “pressuring” the remaining MLAs loyal to Sharad Pawar to switch camps.
