on 6 October. Sources gave this information on Thursday. The group led by ajit pawar had rebelled against
NCP leader Sharad Pawar. After this ajit pawar and eight other MLAs joined the government.
After joining the government, Ajit Pawar’s faction had approached the election commission claiming the
Party’s name and election symbol. Sources said that after due consideration of the complete information
available on record, the Commission has come to the conclusion that there are two rival factions in the NCP,
one of which is led by sharad pawar and the other by Ajit Pawar. He said that since each faction is claiming to
be a party, the matter needs to be determined by the Commission under Para 15 of the election Symbols
(Reservation and Allotment) Order 1968.
