The NCP or Nationalist Congress Party was founded in 1999 by Sharad Pawar after he quit the Indian National Congress (INC) along with Purno Sangma and Tariq Anwar. While the NCP started as a national party with values of ‘Gandhian secularism’ and ‘progressive and modern progress’, its biggest electoral success has been in Maharashtra, Pawar’s home state. In 2023, the Election Commission withdrew the party’s status as a ‘national party’ as the NCP could no longer meet the criteria of such a designation.
As of 2024, the party is split into two factions — one led by founder Sharad Pawar and another by his nephew Ajit Pawar. The faction led by Ajit is in power in Maharashtra along with the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde). This faction today is knonw as the Nationalist Congress Party, having been granted the original party name and symbol by the Supreme Court. The other faction is called the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar). Other important leaders include Jayant Patil, Supriya Sule, and Rajesh Tope.
By joining this unwieldy alliance, Congress all but cut its own nose to spite it’s face, as they only joined just to keep BJP from forming the Maha govt…even going against their principles by allying with the Shiv Sena…They made heir beds, now they must lay in them.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words…the glum looks on the faces of the other two, makes it seem like Thackeray gate-crashed their funeral, thinking it was a rollicking party.
“Godi” Media is just an excuse for hiding its own fallacies that are arising from an inept Gandhi leadership. Both BJP and Congress have their pets and in the South, several politicians own news channels. Modi is popular and people have faith and trust in him. Similarly, the people of Delhi have faith in Kejriwal and Odias have faith in Naveen. Nobody has confidence in Rahul.
Today media in India is in crisis coz of anti hindu media like ThePrint, NDTV, Hindu, Wire, Quint, India Today, News Laundry, AltNews etc. They r patalkars. Shame on these media. These media represents gutter journalism.
It’s unfortunate to write too much out of nothing by antivirus organization to mislead People of cultured indian democracy. Intelligent personalities watch these as the virus if can damage ? But certainly not…..
Congress can’t wash it’s hands or simply tow the line of NCP. It will also be perceived as part of the extortion racket & a partner in the loot. It has to take a clear stand & ask for the removal of HM till the enquiry is completed.
No democratic government can fall lower than the Maharashtra Government. Organizing terror incidents to kill Indian citizens. Organizing a crime syndicate to extort Rs 100 Crores per Month!!! This is crazy.
Do print support MVA & Sachin vaaze on corruption, black mailing Ambani’s, and murder of Hiren ?
