Sharad Pawar's Big Symbol Charge Against Ajit Pawar After Maharashtra Rout
NDTV
The backdrop to the Supreme Court hearing is the BJP-led Mahayuti's mammoth mandate in the Maharashtra Assembly polls, with the Ajit Pawar camp scoring 41
Ahead of the Supreme Court hearing on NCP's factional feud over the 'clock' symbol, the Sharad Pawar camp has alleged that Ajit Pawar, who leads the breakaway party, "tried to create confusion" in voters' minds and "unduly tried to benefit from goodwill" associated with the symbol. In its affidavit, the veteran politician's camp has sought the top court's permission to submit six documents to prove the allegation.
The Supreme Court will be hearing the matter today. The backdrop to the hearing is the BJP-led Mahayuti's mammoth mandate in the Maharashtra Assembly polls. Bouncing back from its Lok Sabha election setback, Ajit Pawar's NCP won 41 Assembly seats and the Sharad Pawar faction managed just 10. In the general election in June, the veteran's camp had trumped the Ajit Pawar faction 8-1.
A rebellion led by Ajit Pawar last year split the NCP, founded by Sharad Pawar with PA Sangma and Tariq Anwar in 1999. Ajit Pawar then joined the Eknath Shinde-led BJP-Shiv Sena government with the MLAs supporting him.
