Sharad Pawar had founded the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) (NCP) after his separation from the Congress, nurtured and expanded it with his own hands. But now the NCP has been taken over by his nephew Ajit Pawar. The Election Commission on Tuesday banned the Ajit Pawar faction. Has been declared the real NCP. EC has also given NCP’s election symbol ‘clock’ to Ajit Pawar faction. Sharad Pawar faction has been given the new name NCP Sharad Chandra Pawar. Not only this, Ajit Pawar faction is now controlling NCP’s party funds and He is also laying claim to the office. Even Sharad Pawar is facing challenge in his stronghold Baramati. In such a situation, the question is what will be Sharad Pawar’s next step? Will the 84 year old warrior win the political battle again?
First the name of the party is gone, the symbol is gone, the big leaders of the party are gone. Now the fort is also shaking. Amidst all the challenges, Sharad Pawar is talking about standing again. ‘Poster war’ is also going on between Sharad Pawar faction and Ajit Pawar faction.

Poster war outside NCP office
Many posters have been put up outside Sharad Pawar’s NCP office in Mumbai. It is written in these – “The sign is yours, the father is ours!” Poster war and rhetoric is intense between both the groups. Just like it was seen in both the factions of Shiv Sena.

Let us tell you that Sharad Pawar had demanded disqualification of those 9 ministers and 31 MLAs who joined the Shiv Sena-BJP coalition government.
The total number of NCP MLAs and MPs across the country is 81. Of these, 57 are with Ajit Pawar group. Sharad Pawar has 28 members. Whereas 6 members had given affidavits in support of both the groups. After the decision of the Election Commission, now the war has started regarding party headquarters office and funds. Both groups are asserting their rights.

The leaders of Ajit Pawar group are also feeling pity for Sharad Pawar. Avinash Adik, general secretary and spokesperson of the Ajit Pawar group, says, “It does not feel good to see him. Saheb has to go through this.”
Political end of ‘Chanakya’?
At the same time, political analysts are considering this as the political end of ‘Chanakya’. Political analyst Balakrishnan said, “People say that Sharad Pawar bounces back in every situation, but due to this blow he will not be able to bounce back. Now he has nothing left except sympathy and empathy. His own nephew Have given.”
Big challenge to save reputation in Baramati
Meanwhile, will “Baramati”, which was considered the impenetrable fort of Sharad Pawar, be saved? Discussion has started regarding this also. Because Ajit Pawar has decided to field his candidate from Baramati Lok Sabha seat also. Avinash Adik said, “We will field candidates from Baramati also. We cannot tell right now who will be made the candidate.”
Majority matters in democracy: Ajit Pawar on Election Commission’s decision
Political analyst Jayant Mainkar says, “It is a big thing that Baramati is saved. It is a question of credibility. But it seems very difficult. 80% of the organization was taken away by Ajit Pawar. The association within the organization is only with Ajit Pawar. Is.”
Legal battle will be long
On the other hand, Sharad Pawar is talking about fighting this battle in the Supreme Court. The struggle in the Supreme Court will be long and the Lok Sabha elections are only about 100 days away. In such a situation, it seems less likely that they will get any major relief from the Supreme Court before the elections.
‘India Alliance will also be affected
In Maharashtra, Sharad Pawar is the main leader of both the state opposition alliance Maha Vikas Aghadi and the ‘India Bloc’ formed for the Lok Sabha elections. But, today neither the name of his party nor the election symbol is with him. Same situation exists for Uddhav Thackeray also. But there is a big difference between the two. Uddhav Thackeray was challenged by a Shiv Sainik from outside the family! But, Sharad Pawar has been defeated by his own nephew. Now, in the wind of sympathy, his experience may continue to be respected in the alliance, but his bargaining power for seats will definitely be affected.
Nationalist Congress Party was established on June 10, 1999. The founders of the party were Sharad Pawar, Tariq Anwar and PA Sangma. These three leaders were earlier part of the Congress, but when they opposed the appointment of Sonia Gandhi as the Congress President, the party expelled them for 6 years. Then all three together laid the foundation of NCP. So far
