Assembly elections in Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir are over. Meanwhile, activities have intensified in Maharashtra. Assembly elections are going to be held there by next month. For this reason, election activities are in full swing in the state. The chief strategist of Mahavikas Aghadi is veteran leader Sharad Pawar. Despite the split in NCP, he revived his faction in the last Lok Sabha elections. At present his party has eight MPs. In such a situation, the chances of NCP Sharad faction in the assembly elections seem quite strong. Leaders of other parties are continuously joining his party.
Since the assembly elections are just a few days away, all the political parties are reviewing their respective constituencies. Sharad Pawar is also deployed in Pune to inspect constituencies and interview candidates. Sharad Pawar has been interviewing candidates at the Nisarg Mangal office in Pune for the last few days. On one hand, while Sharad Pawar was giving an interview, on the other hand, NCP workers have put up posters. These workers have put a poster on their body demanding to make the loyalists as candidates.
Loyalists get tickets
When Sharad Pawar was interviewing the candidates, many workers of Pimpri-Chinchwad came to meet Sharad Pawar with bans hanging around their necks. Any loyal worker should get candidature from Pimpri because Pimpri assembly constituency belongs to Saheb. The workers hung posters saying that this assembly constituency belonged to Sharad Pawar from 2009 to 2024, and demanded that Sharad Pawar should give tickets to the loyalists.
Meanwhile, on Monday, Harshvardhan Patil joined the NCP Sharad faction in the presence of Sharad Pawar in Indapur. Workers of Sharad Pawar’s party NCP in Indapur are also angry with Harsh Vardhan Patil’s entry into the party. Supriya Sule is talking to these angry workers and their well being is being inquired. Supriya Sule said that yesterday and today I had a conversation with Bharat Shah and Jagdale. I have family relations with all three leaders. It is my moral responsibility to respect them. Solutions emerge through dialogue. I am ready to discuss with everyone. It is my responsibility to maintain family and political relations.
