Maharashtra NCP crisis | Post-Ajit Pawar’s rebellion, president Sharad Pawar stages massive show of strength in Satara

Sharad Pawar Ajit Pawar Rohit Pawar NCP Satara Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party

A day after his nephew Ajit Pawar, along with other top Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leaders split the party vertically by joining the ruling Eknath Shinde-BJP dispensation, NCP supremo Sharad Pawar on July 3 said those who succumbed to the BJP’s divisive tactics would be put in their place in the elections while claiming that his party had the overwhelming support of Maharashtra’s youth.

The 82-year-old NCP patriarch, accompanied by his grand-nephew and MLA Rohit Pawar, staged a massive show of strength in Satara in the ‘sugar heartland’ of western Maharashtra during his 140 km journey from Pune to Satara’s Karad.
