The Election Commission of India has directed both the Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar factions of the NCP to share with each other the documents submitted to the Commission while staking claim to be the real party
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has directed both the Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) to share with each other the documents submitted to the Commission while staking claim to be the real party.
According to sources in the Commission, both factions have been asked to confirm the same within three weeks. “The ECI has further directed that both sides should give a copy to each other of any documents they submit to the Commission in the future as well,” the sources said.
The ECI has asked them to exchange documents as some MLAs whose support was being claimed might be overlapping.

Speaking to The Hindu, a senior leader from the Sharad Pawar camp confirmed the development, and said they had received a notice from the election body stating the Ajit Pawar camp claims to be the actual party with the support of the majority of legislators. “The Commission asked us to respond to their claims and provide supportive documentation. It is a routine process. Even they [the Ajit Pawar camp] received a similar notice as we too filed a petition,” the leader said.
“Before the ECI moves forward with both petitions, they want our response. Our faction will duly respond to the notice,” he said.
Earlier, on July 5, three days after he pulled off a stunning revolt in the NCP triggering a vertical split in the party, and joined hands with the ruling Shiv Sena-BJP alliance in Maharashtra to become the Deputy Chief Minister, Mr. Ajit Pawar informed the ECI that he had been elected president of the NCP on June 30. He submitted a resolution, and affidavits from 40 Members of Parliament and State legislators, to this effect.
