The decision of Delhi’s Benami Tribunal is being seen as a big relief for Ajit Pawa. Let us tell you that proving the predictions about the end of his political innings wrong, Nationalist Congress Party chief Ajit Pawar has strengthened his position not only in the BJP-led ‘Mahayuti’ but also in Maharashtra politics by becoming Deputy Chief Minister for the sixth time. More than a year after rebelling against the NCP founder, Ajit Pawar has now come out strongly from the shadow of his uncle Sharad Pawar.
NCP had performed brilliantly in the assembly elections
Let us tell you that in the elections held for the 288-member state assembly on November 20, Ajit Pawar’s party contested 59 seats, out of which it won 41 seats. This was in stark contrast to the poor performance of the NCP in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, in which the party got only one seat out of 4 in the state. Ajit Pawar defeated his nephew and NCP (SP) candidate Yugendra Pawar from Baramati by a margin of over one lakh votes. Ajit Pawar is the son ofthe late Anant Pawar, the elder brother of Sharad Pawar.
