The Nationalist Congress Party led by Sharad Pawar has filed a disqualification petition against the nine Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLAs, including Ajit Pawar, who joined the BJP-Sena government in Maharashtra yesterday. Sharad Pawar today addressed NCP workers and supporters in Karad in Satara district. He said some of his own people have fallen prey to the tactics to break parties.
In another update, newly inducted ministers are meeting at the residence of Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar. Earlier, in a letter addressed to the Speaker of Maharashtra Assembly, the NCP proposed Jitendra Awhad as the Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly.
