The Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar) officially denied BJP MP Narayan Rane's claim to a local Marathi TV news channel here on Friday that NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar may walk out of the Congress-backed Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) and join hands with the BJP-backed Mahayuti after the Maharashtra assembly election results are declared.
Reacting to the allegations, Sharad Pawar said, "The person who made the allegations was in jail for several months. Only the BJP can prompt such a person to make false allegations."
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP candidate from Baramati Assembly constituency, Ajit Pawar on Wednesday cast his vote.
A bench comprising Justice Surya Kant and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan told the Ajit Pawar faction that they must fight the elections under their own identity and refrain from using Sharad Pawar’s name during the electioneering.
The top court also instructed the Ajit Pawar-led faction to “learn to stand on its own legs” and maintain individuality of the parties.
The Sharad Pawar faction said that it will move the Supreme Court against the poll panel's decision to recognise Ajit Pawar group as real NCP.
The EC has settled the dispute in the NCP in favour of the faction led by the petitioner Ajit Pawar by this decision.
