NCP Rift | Supreme Court Issues Notice On Plea Of Sharad Pawar Group Against Maharashtra Speaker's Refusal To Disqualify Ajit Pawar Faction

The Supreme Court has issued a notice regarding a petition filed by Sharad Pawar’s faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). The petition challenges the Maharashtra Speaker’s decision not to disqualify the Ajit Pawar faction, which had split from Sharad Pawar’s group. The petitioners argue that the Speaker's refusal to act is inconsistent with the Constitution and that it undermines the democratic process. The Supreme Court’s notice seeks the Speaker’s response on this issue, which could impact the internal dynamics of the NCP and its political implications in Maharashtra.
