Sharad Pawar accused Ajit Pawar of misleading voters and exploiting the NCP’s ‘clock’ symbol following their party’s defeat in the Maharashtra Assembly elections. Amid political tensions and a Supreme Court hearing, the Sharad faction has requested to present evidence against Ajit’s faction, which won 41 seats compared to Sharad’s 10.
The Supreme Court today (24th Oct) has granted the Sharad Pawar faction of the NCP the right to use their name and symbol while permitting the Ajit Pawar faction to retain the “clock” symbol under specific conditions. The ongoing disputes highlight the need for clarity regarding party representation and symbol allocation amid political turmoil in Maharashtra.
