Significant political developments are currently unfolding in Maharashtra, particularly concerning the internal power struggle within the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). The party's leader, Sharad Pawar, has suffered a political setback caused by his nephew, Ajit Pawar. Both factions are vying for dominance, and they are each attempting to demonstrate their support base.
