Sunetra Pawar denies internal rift in NCP, says party will introspect after MLC poll defeat
The election results saw the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) secure three of the five seats, while the ruling Mahayuti alliance won two.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP president Sunetra Pawar has denied reports of internal conflicts within her party, stating that there is no rift among its leaders. She emphasized that electoral losses are an opportunity for the party to introspect and improve. This statement follows the NCP's recent defeat in the Maharashtra Legislative Council elections, where its candidate Satish Chavan lost his seat in the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Graduates constituency to Pratapsinh Patil of the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar).
Sunetra Pawar's comments come after NCP (SP) leader Pratap Singh Patil declared a 100% wave of change, claiming that educated voters had sent a strong message to politicians that the electorate cannot be taken for granted. In the recent elections, the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) won three out of five contested seats, while the ruling Mahayuti alliance secured two.
The NCP failed to win the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Graduates constituency, leading to concerns about the party's electoral performance. The party's graduates constituencies saw gains, while the BJP and Shiv Sena emerged victorious in the teachers' constituencies. The results were mixed, with the BJP winning the Teachers' seat, the NCP (SP) claiming the Graduates' seat, and the defeat of the sitting Congress MLC in the Teachers' constituency.
