The political landscape in Maharashtra is witnessing tensions, as NCP (SP) leader Rohit Pawar accuses the BJP of attempting to create a rift within the ruling NCP. This claim suggests BJP's involvement in supporting state unit president Sunil Tatkare to challenge Deputy CM Ajit Pawar's leadership.
Rohit, representing the Karjat-Jamkhed constituency, articulates this split within the party, identifying two factions: one led by Tatkare with support from party functionaries and another by Ajit Pawar enjoying MLA backing.
This intriguing political play thickens with allegations that Tatkare, a two-time Raigad MP and Ajit Pawar's aide, might run for election on a BJP ticket in 2029, indicating shifting political allegiances ahead.
