The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is experiencing significant internal strife as factionalism comes to the forefront. Following a meeting between NCP leader Parth Pawar and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, concerns have surfaced regarding the NCP's internal divisions. Fadnavis claimed that the discussion centered on administrative and political matters; however, insiders suggest that the BJP leadership conveyed dissatisfaction over the NCP's internal conflicts becoming public. This tension was exacerbated when the NCP submitted a list to the Election Commission that omitted the titles of national working president Praful Patel and state party chief Sunil Tatkare, which the party later attributed to a clerical error. The situation intensified after Patel and Tatkare met with Sharad Pawar, leading to speculation about their dissatisfaction with the party's treatment. The BJP fears that these internal rifts could be exploited by opposition parties. In response, the NCP is planning a meeting of senior leaders to address these issues and clarify the status of its leadership.
