Sharad Pawar vs Ajit Pawar: ECI to hear both factions today over NCP name and symbol allotment
NCP split: The Election Commission of India will hear the arguments of the two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party - one led by Sharad Pawar and another by his nephew Ajit - today, over the staking of claim on the party’s name and symbol following a split in July this year. The Ajit Pawar faction had approached the Commission in July staking claim over the NCP name and symbol stating that he should be declared the party’s president. Sharad Pawar refuted the claim stating that he represents the real NCP and called for the rejection of the petition filed by Ajit Pawar, who is now the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra after jumping ship on July 2 along with eight party MLAs. The Commission in July had also issued a show-cause notice to the NCP group led by Sharad Pawar following a petition filed by the Ajit Pawar faction.
