'Chanakya Of Maharashtra Politics' Falters: What’s Next For Sharad Pawar And His NCP?

ABP News  

The results of the Maharashtra Assembly elections have significantly altered the state’s political landscape, leaving several prominent leaders grappling with questions about their future. Under Pawar’s leadership, the Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition was formed, and his decision to install Uddhav Thackeray as chief minister bore fruit during the Lok Sabha elections, where the coalition performed well. The Supreme Court's prior recognition of Ajit Pawar's faction as the "real" NCP further diminished Sharad Pawar’s grip on the party and his standing in Maharashtra politics. Internal Struggles Within NCP And A Legacy In Question The internal split in the NCP has been a significant factor in Sharad Pawar’s weakened position. The Supreme Court's recognition of Ajit’s faction has not only legitimised the split but also dealt a blow to the core of Sharad Pawar’s political legacy.
