The battle of Pawar vs Pawar in Maharashtra intensified today with both sides engaging in shows of strength in Mumbai. The faction led by Ajit Pawar met at Bandra’s Mumbai Education Trust, while supporters of Sharad Pawar gathered at YB Chavan Centre at Nariman Point.
Out of 53 NCP MLAs, Pawar Junior had 29 MLAs in attendance, while Pawar Senior, his uncle, had only 17. Yet Ajit cannot lay claim to the Nationalist Congress Party yet because a two-third majority amounts to 36 MLAs.
