Maharashtra Drama Hots Up: Here's Who Is Supporting Whom In Pawar Vs Pawar War
NCP MLAs, MLCs and MPs have gathered at MET Bandra and YB Chavan Centre in Mumbai to support Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar at respective meeting locations.
Amid big claims by Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar factions of having more NCP MLAs in their support, 15 MLAs, five Members of Parliament (MPs) and three MLCs have so far reached YB Chavan Centre to back Sharad Pawar. Meanwhile, Ajit Pawar has so far garnered the support of 29 MLAs and four MLCs. Notably, Ajit Pawar needs the support of at least 36 MLAs (Two-thirds of elected leaders in the assembly) to avoid the anti-defection law. NCP has 53 MLAs in the Maharashtra assembly.
The crisis in the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is escalating with the Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar-led factions calling separate meetings on Wednesday in an apparent show of strength.
