Sharad Pawar, chief of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), has publicly supported senior leaders Praful Patel and Sunil Tatkare, who were notably absent from the party's recent list of national office-bearers submitted to the Election Commission. Pawar's endorsement comes amid internal strife within the NCP, particularly following a split led by former chief Ajit Pawar, who joined the BJP-Shiv Sena coalition. The omission of Patel and Tatkare from the leadership list has raised concerns that they are being pushed out of the party's core decision-making circle. Both leaders played significant roles in stabilizing the party after the 2023 split. Recent developments, including Tatkare's meeting with Sharad Pawar and the resignation of party spokesperson Anand Paranjape, further indicate rising tensions and dissatisfaction among party members. Pawar has also criticized the central and state governments for their handling of pressing issues, including the falling value of the Indian Rupee, and called for greater seriousness in governance. He emphasized the need for an all-party meeting to address the country's challenges, reflecting his concerns over the current political climate.
