Sunetra Pawar, the newly appointed president of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in Maharashtra, has ignited speculation about a potential split within the party through her recent correspondence with the Election Commission of India (ECI). The letter, which notably omitted the titles of senior leaders Praful Patel and Sunil Tatkare, has raised eyebrows regarding the party's internal dynamics. Following the death of Ajit Pawar, former Deputy Chief Minister, tensions have surfaced, particularly after Patel and Tatkare asserted that the Executive President holds powers equivalent to those of the President. Sunetra Pawar's subsequent rejection of proposals to amend the party's constitution has further fueled discontent among some members. Amid these developments, Sanjay Raut of Shiv Sena (UBT) suggested that a faction of NCP MLAs might defect to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). However, Parth Pawar has publicly refuted these claims, emphasizing that the party remains united and committed to its leadership.
