Ajit Pawar 'compelled' to leave undivided NCP, was to lead party post merger: Shashikant Shinde is drawing significant interest across the industry.

Maharashtra NCP (SP) president Shashikant Shinde claimed “manoeuvres by invisible forces, threats, and a web of false allegations” led late Ajit Pawar to leave the undivided NCP, resulting in the 2023 split. In a party magazine tribute, he said efforts to reunite the two factions were underway and a formal merger decision was to be taken on February 12, with Ajit Pawar set to lead the unified party before his death in a plane crash on January 28.

Experts suggest this could influence future trends and innovation in the sector.

More updates are expected as the story develops.
