There Won’t Be a Merger of NCP, Sunetra Pawar to Carry Forward Dada’s Legacy

New Delhi: A major update has emerged regarding Maharashtra politics, which is being considered a major blow to non-BJP political parties. Following the death of state Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, speculation had been rife that Sunetra Pawar, who was appointed Deputy Chief Minister, would merge the party with her uncle, but that will no longer be the case.

Sunetra Pawar, who has now separated from Sharad Pawar, is now considered certain to become the new National President of the NCP. In a meeting with senior leaders on Monday, the decision to appoint Sunetra Pawar as the party’s National President was unanimous. All leaders have expressed their agreement.

After assuming the position of Deputy Chief Minister in the Maharashtra government, she will also assume the leadership of the organisation. In simple terms, she is fully prepared to carry forward the political legacy of the late Ajit Pawar.

Sunetra Pawar to be President of the NCP

In a meeting of NCP leaders, everyone unanimously agreed to appoint Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar as the party’s President. NCP National Executive President Praful Patel proposed Sunetra Pawar’s name, which was unanimously supported by all MLAs.

The decision to officially appoint Sunetra Pawar as the National President will be finalised on February 26th. Amid calls for discussions between the two factions of the NCP on the proposed merger, Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar held a meeting with party leaders in Mumbai on Monday evening.

Ajit Pawar died in a plane crash.

For information, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar was involved in a chartered plane crash while travelling to Baramati. Four people, including Ajit Pawar, died in the accident. This was a major setback for Maharashtra’s political landscape and the party. Before this accident, efforts were underway to unite the NCP’s Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar. The uncle-nephew duo had even fielded joint candidates in the civic elections. Ajit Pawar’s sudden death in a plane crash dealt a significant blow to the family’s growing closeness.
