Maharashtra Speaker To Give Verdict On NCP Disqualification Pleas

ABP News  

Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar on Thursday will deliver his verdict on the disqualification petitions filed by the two Nationalist Congress Party factions against each other following the directions given by the Supreme Court. Sharad Pawar this week moved the Supreme Court challenging the EC order recognising the Ajit Pawar faction as the real NCP and handing over the official 'clock' symbol to them. The Supreme Court had last month granted the Maharashtra Speaker Rahul Narwekar time till 15 February to decide on the disqualification of NCP MLAs affiliated to Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's group. Ajit Pawar, currently a Deputy Chief Minister, had walked away with a majority of NCP MLAs in July last year and supported the BJP-Shiv Sena coalition government led by Eknath Shinde in Maharashtra.
