After EC determines ‘split’ in NCP, Ajit Pawar confident Commission will give appropriate verdict

Ajit Pawar NCP Sharad Pawar EC ECI

A day after the Election Commission of India (ECI) determined there was a split in the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and asked both the Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar-led rival factions to present their claims on October 6, Ajit Pawar on Friday expressed confidence on Friday that the ECI would take an appropriate decision on the issue.

“The ECI has summoned both factions to present their respective cases. Each will have to present their stance on why they have the right over the party.

The Election Commission had determined there was a division within the NCP on September 14 and summoned the rival factions for a hearing on October 6.
