At Junnar rally on October 1, Sharad Pawar, while referring to his nephew Ajit, said those who have joined hands with the BJP can’t be part of ‘our NCP’
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar has hit out at the Ajit Pawar faction, saying people “very much” have a clear idea about the NCP when he was asked about who will contest from Junnar city in the next assembly elections post the split in the party.
Junnar MLA Atul Benke is yet to take a stand whether he will support Sharad Pawar or go with the Ajit faction in the next assembly elections.
Sharad, who was interacting with the media at Junnar city in Pune on October 1, said, “I am roaming in Maharashtra and meeting people. Let me tell you that people have very much a clear idea about the NCP. What people think is important. I was in Killari town where approximately 20,000 people had gathered for the rally. In the entire state, I see similar scenes wherever I go”.
On the party candidate from the Junnar seat, senior Pawar said, “We — Shiv Sena UBT, Congress and NCP (Sharad Pawar) — will be contesting the next elections under the leadership of Shiv Sena UBT Chief Uddhav Thackeray. So, as per the formula, which we have worked out, Junnar seat will remain with the NCP whom I am leading. People of Junnar usually never disappoint me.”
Alluding to his nephew, Sharad Pawar quipped “people who have joined hands with the BJP can’t be part of our NCP. People of Maharashtra and outside know who the founder of NCP is”.
“People elected them against one party and now they have gone to that side and joined hands with the same party. This is nothing but playing with people’s feelings. Whenever the people of Maharashtra will get an opportunity to teach these people a lesson, they will not shy away from this,” Sharad Pawar added.
After the split in the NCP in July, Sharad Pawar has had held several rallies in the constituencies of the leaders who had left him and joined Ajit Pawar. The first one was conducted at Yeola, which is the constituency of his former close aide Chhagan Bhujbal. Later, another rally was held in Beed district — a strong hold of Dhananjay Munde, who is close to Ajit Pawar, while the last one took place in Kolhapur – the citadel of Hasan Mushrif who is now with Ajit’s camp.
Pawar also told media in Junnar that he will be conducting a rally in Ambegaon, which is the constituency of his former close aide Dilip Walse-Patil.

Sukhendu Roy was recently in news for backing the junior doctor’s agitation following the rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee inside the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
Senior TMC MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy on Tuesday stepped down as the editor of party mouthpiece ‘Jago Bangla’ (Wake up, Bengal) citing personal reasons.
Roy was recently in news for backing the junior doctor’s agitation following the rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee inside the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
“I am leaving the post as editor of Jago Bangla for personal reasons as I cannot do justice to my post since taking over in 2022. Not that I am faced with any interference in discharging my responsibility. Someone else, who can perform this role in a better way, should take over,” Roy said.
The TMC leader, who has been in the party for 13 years, had taken over the mantle after the arrest of senior TMC leader and former minister Partha Chatterjee in the school job scam by the ED in 2022.
His recent social media posts on the junior doctor’s agitation left the party red-faced.
Roy’s first post came on August 13, soon after the Calcutta High Court transferred the investigations into the rape-murder case from the Kolkata Police to the CBI, which read, “Gangrape and merciless murder happened in RG Kar Hospital. Who are they? Now the CBI to investigate. Well. I’ve no faith in CBI. They are nincompoop. Yet the truth is to be unravelled. Why there are attempts to shield the beasts? Whosoever is responsible for the crime must be hanged.”
The next day, he participated in a midnight sit-in close to his south Kolkata residence in the early hours of Independence Day when cries of justice for the RG Kar hospital victim shattered the city’s midnight air.
He subsequently wrote to Home Minister Amit Shah to promulgate a “stringent central legislation” to ensure safety of women at workplaces and institutions.

Ramdas Athawale said it doesn’t behove Gandhi, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, to make “anti-reservation” statements.
Union minister Ramdas Athawale demanded on Tuesday to cancel the passport of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to stop him from “defaming” India during his foreign trips.
Addressing a press conference in Palghar, the MOS for Social Justice said it doesn’t behove Gandhi, the leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha, to make “anti-reservation” statements.
“Rahul Gandhi visits foreign countries and defames India by making such statements. His passport should be cancelled to stop him from making such remarks,” Athawale said while responding to a query on certain remarks made by Gandhi during his recent visit to the US that kicked up a row.
The Dalit leader said Congress will cease to exist one day but reservations won’t.
Athawale, whose RPI (A) is part of NDA, further said allying with NCP leader Ajit Pawar is not detrimental to the prospects of the Mahayuti (grand alliance).
