Big blow to Ajit Pawar as four top leaders resign from NCP to join Sharad Pawar, causing a major setback for the ruling party in Maharashtra.

In a surprising turn of events, the ruling Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, faced a major setback as four top leaders resigned from the party to join Sharad Pawar's faction. Among those who quit were Ajit Gavhane, the chief of NCP's Pimpri-Chinchwad unit, and prominent student leader Yash Sane. This mass exodus is seen as a significant blow to Ajit Pawar's leadership ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly election.

The defection of key leaders from Ajit Pawar's NCP to Sharad Pawar's camp indicates a shift in power dynamics within the party. More leaders are rumored to follow suit, signaling a potential wave of exits from Ajit Pawar's faction. The move comes after the NCP suffered a defeat in the Lok Sabha elections, adding pressure on the party's internal unity.

The decision of Ajit Gavhane and other top leaders to join Sharad Pawar's camp is likely to impact the political landscape in Maharashtra. As the state gears up for crucial Assembly polls, the realignment of key figures could alter the electoral dynamics significantly. The power struggle between the Pawar family members adds an interesting twist to the unfolding political drama in Maharashtra.

In a turn of events that surprised many, NCP's Pimpri-Chinchwad unit chief Ajit Gavhane expressed his intention to seek the blessings of Sharad Pawar after resigning from Ajit Pawar's NCP. This move highlights the emerging rift within the party and the growing dominance of Sharad Pawar over the political scenario in Maharashtra. The upcoming Assembly polls will be closely watched to see how these defections impact the overall electoral landscape in the state.
