    NCP crisis: Rebel leaders pay surprise visit to Sharad Pawar

    What's the story

    In a new twist to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) crisis, rebel party leaders led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar met party supremo Sharad Pawar at Mumbai's YB Chavan Centre on Sunday and sought his blessings.

    Reportedly, they appealed the NCP should be united—suggesting Pawar's camp to back the ruling coalition of CM Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Two weeks ago, Ajit and his supporters crossed over from the opposition to join the ruling Shiv Sena and BJP coalition government.

    However, as he was appointed the deputy CM, Sena leaders reportedly became uneasy over the power-sharing arrangement.

    The induction of Ajit and his loyalists into Maharashtra's cabinet was reportedly resisted by Shinde's Sena leaders, who have been eyeing portfolios since last year.

    'Came here to seek blessings of respected Sharad Pawar': Patel 

    After the meeting, NCP MP Praful Patel on Sunday said, "We all came here to seek the blessings of respected Sharad Pawar today."

    "We requested Pawar sahib the NCP should stay united. On this, Sharad Pawar did not give any reaction," he claimed.

    Once a close Pawar aide, Patel joined NCP's Ajit camp, which reportedly came as a major blow to the NCP chief.
