00:00 After repeated claims that Sharath Pawar is their leader and multiple alleged attempts
00:06 to persuade him to join the government, the Ajit Pawar camp has decided not to use pictures
00:13 of NCP founder Sharath Pawar.
00:16 Let's understand the full story but before that if you are watching this on Facebook

00:26 Officials speaking to HW News English have said, "Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has
00:30 directed office bearers to not use pictures of NCP chief and his uncle Sharath Pawar in
00:38 any of the banners."
00:40 Now the news comes at a time when the Election Commission of India has granted three weeks
00:45 time to both the NCP factions to respond to the notices related to the party's name and
00:51 official symbol.
00:53 Meanwhile, the Sharath Pawar group has informed the Election Commission of India that there
00:57 is no split in the party.
01:00 The letter written by Sharath Pawar camp claims that the Ajit Pawar camp laying claim on the
01:05 party's name and symbol is without substance and is unfortunate.
01:10 The demand for the NCP's election symbol is premature and malified and should be rejected,
01:15 they stated.
01:17 The letter claims that the Ajit Pawar's camp has not shown that the NCP has split.
01:23 Meanwhile, the Nationalist Congress party affiliated with Sharath Pawar on Monday announced
01:28 a loyalty campaign appealing to supporters to give a missed call and register with the
01:32 party.
01:33 However, sources in the NCP speaking to HW News English revealed two very important things.
01:40 Number one, Sharath Pawar even after multiple meetings with Ajit Pawar has not joined the
01:45 government because of massive resentment from ground-level party guarder in Western Maharashtra,
01:51 which is the bastion of NCP.
01:54 Number two, the decision to not use Sharath Pawar's photos in Ajit Pawar's faction banner
02:00 is because of pressure on Sharath Pawar from the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi's other two partners
02:06 i.e. the Shiv Sena and the Congress.
02:09 So, in the meantime, Sharath Pawar has asked his nephew Ajit Pawar to not use his pictures
02:15 till the time he is not sure of his future plans.
02:19 Both Sharath Pawar and Supriya Sule have multiple times made it clear that their relationship
02:24 with Ajit Pawar is still intact and till date, neither Sharath Pawar nor Supriya Sule have
02:30 named and criticized Ajit Pawar.
02:33 So, the question here arises that is the political battle only limited to party workers while
02:39 the top brass is playing a friendly contest?
