Tensions within the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) escalated following a late-night meeting between Rajya Sabha MP Parth Pawar and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Sources indicate that Parth's increasing assertiveness has caused discontent among senior leaders, including Praful Patel and Sunil Tatkare, who perceive his actions as 'high-handed.' This meeting is seen as an attempt by the BJP to ensure stability within the ruling Mahayuti alliance, as they maintain that NCP's internal issues are its own concern. The political landscape shifted further when former MP Anand Paranjpee met Sharad Pawar, which observers interpret as a sign of growing unrest within Ajit Pawar's faction of the NCP. Political insiders suggest that a divided NCP may currently benefit the BJP, allowing both factions to focus on their internal challenges ahead of the 2029 Assembly elections. However, the potential for reconciliation between the factions raises questions about leadership and ideological alignment. Additionally, Rohit Pawar's criticism of senior leaders for their past disloyalty to Sharad Pawar underscores the ongoing strife within the party.
