In the wake of Ajit Pawar's rebellion, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) finds itself divided into two factions, each pointing fingers at the other. Ajit Pawar has raised allegations against the NCP, prompting an investigation by the Central Election Commission and a parallel legal proceeding in the Supreme Court.
Despite the internal strife, the entire Pawar family demonstrated unity on Diwali Padwa, gathering at the residence of NCP chief Sharad Pawar in Govind Baug, Baramati. Speculation arose regarding Ajit Pawar's participation in the family's Diwali festivities, but reports confirm his presence at Govind Baug later in the evening.
Chandrkant Patil remarked on the situation, stating, "No matter how many differences there are, coming together for the festival is the specialty of the Pawar family.
