Legal Pointers In NCP’s Coup: There was an earthquake in the calm politics of Maharashtra on Sunday (July 2) when suddenly Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and Leader of Opposition in the House Ajit Pawar joined hands with the Shinde-Fadnavis government in Maharashtra. NCP chief Sharad Pawar’s nephew Ajit Pawar took oath of office and secrecy in the Shinde government along with a total of 9 veteran leaders of the party.
The present situation is that there are two factions of NCP in Maharashtra. While one group is with NCP President Sharad Pawar, the other group is seen standing with Ajit Pawar. In the first group, where the estimated number of MLAs is uncertain, the rebel group is claiming that more than 30 MLAs are with them.
Among those who have rebelled in Ajit Pawar’s faction are senior party leader Chhagan Bhujbal and Praful Patel, a working president. Both these leaders along with Ajit Pawar were considered to be one of the closest generals of Sharad Pawar till the rebellion. One of them i.e. Praful Patel is also the working president of NCP.
Why is Sharad Pawar avoiding going to court
In such a situation, questions are being raised that due to what reasons NCP leader Sharad Pawar said that he will not go to the court but will re-establish his party in the public court. However, till the time of writing the news, it is informed that NCP leader Sharad Pawar is continuously discussing with his legal team, so in the coming days this fight can be seen in the court as well.
According to analysts with legal and political understanding in Maharashtra, the first reason is not clear as to how many MLAs are with which group. The second reason is the lesson learned from the Shiv Sena rebellion, where the country’s highest court, the Supreme Court, refused to raise any questions on the Election Commission’s decision during the hearing.
Apart from this, the Supreme Court, while hearing the matter, had said that only the speaker of the assembly has the right to disqualify the MLAs under the anti-defection law and the speaker himself will decide at his own discretion when to disqualify the MLAs under this law. Is. On the other hand, some analysts, on the basis of the statement of Chhagan Bhujbal, in which he had said that the family feud should end soon because Sharad Pawar is our leader, believe that going to court may end all possibilities of reconciliation in future. .
In such a situation, the result of this rebellion of NCP, the upcoming decisions and the next legal steps will be known only when there will be a meeting of both the factions on Wednesday (July 5), because it will be clear in this meeting that which faction has what number. is the force?
