NCP working president Praful Patel defended the party’s demand for a CBI probe into Ajit Pawar’s death in a Baramati plane crash. He said doubts remain over the investigation and supported calls for an independent and thorough inquiry
NCP working president Praful Patel said there is no opposition to Sunetra Pawar becoming leader of the party’s legislature wing, but the family’s consent will be sought. The party is currently finalising leadership changes after Ajit Pawar’s death
The NCP split on July 2 this year after Ajit Pawar and eight MLAs joined the Eknath Shinde government comprising the Shiv Sena and the Bharatiya Janata Party.
The Nationalist Congress Party faction under Ajit Pawar and 15 of his MLAs on Monday met Sharad Pawar at the YB Chavan Centre in Mumbai and asked him to ensure the party stays united.
