Sharad Pawar, the leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), addressed the speculation surrounding his nephew, Ajit Pawar, and his future political plans. He stated that no meetings involving NCP MLAs had been arranged by anyone, thus dismissing the rumors.
Ajit Pawar’s recent statement comes in response to the reports suggesting that he had scheduled a meeting with MLAs on Tuesday. These reports had fueled speculation in Maharashtra’s political circles regarding his increasing closeness to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). However, Ajit Pawar categorically denied these claims, labeling them as false. Sharad Pawar’s comments align with Ajit Pawar’s stance, reiterating that no such meeting has been organized.
Sharad Pawar stated that whatever debates are taking place in the minds of the media are not present in “our minds” when speaking to reporters in the Purandar neighborhood of Maharashtra’s Pune district. I can tell about the NCP that all of our colleagues are of one thinking on how to strengthen the party, and there is no other thought in anyone’s head, the party chief added. “…There is no value in all these talks. The reports have no meaning.

She affirmed her continued loyalty and pledged to stand by him regardless of his future decisions.
