I am not joining any faction, I am with the original NCP." NCP leader Nawab Malik was quoted saying by Times Of India. Now let me tell you why this statement is important and let's also talk about some important developments which are brewing in the state. But before that, if you are watching this on Facebook do like our page and if you are watching this on Youtube do Subscribe to HW News English. After almost one and a half years in custody in a money laundering case, NCP leader Nawab Malik was released on bail under medical conditions on Monday. Both the factions of the NCP welcomed Mr. Malik with much fanfare. NCP leaders Praful Patel and Sunil Tatkare, who are with the faction led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, on Tuesday met Mr Malik. However, Patel later told reporters that they did not discuss any political issues. And now Mr. Malik himself has confirmed that he is not joining any faction, and he is with the original NCP. Now let me tell you from where these speculations of Mr. Malik joining the Ajit Pawar's faction started: Mr. Nawab Malik who is suffering from kidney ailments for quite some time. Due to which Mr. Malik had applied for bail under medical grounds which got rejected multiple times. Latest, On 12 July, the court rejected Nawab Malik's bail saying: “There can be no dispute that the right to health is recognized as an important facet of Article 21 of the Constitution of India (Right to Life). It is a right available to every person including an under-trial prisoner or convict. In fact, failure of the State to provide proper medical aid to the prisoners, who are largely dependent on the jail authorities, would be in violation of right guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution.” The Bench remarked, “Mr. Malik is provided adequate, effective, and specialized medical assistance, and his health condition is being monitored by the doctors specialized in the field. Hence, his right to health or right to life is not curtailed or infringed in any manner.” The court had said. And exactly a month later, Mr. Malik was granted 2 months' bail after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta did not object to his bail. Soon after this, there were whispers in political circles that Malik's bail happened because Ajit Pawar had joined hands with the BJP and that Malik would also join Ajit Pawar. Now let's talk a little about MVA's other two partners that are the Shiv Sena (UBT)and the Congress. The Shiv Sena and the Congress are considering the possibility of fighting the upcoming Lok Sabha elections without the NCP and rather focusing on bringing together other smaller parties together. Now this comes at a time when Sharad Pawar did a secret meeting which is no more a secret now with nephew Ajit Pawar in Pune at a businessman's house on Saturday.

00:00 Four reasons that makes it clear that the NCP has different plans than of the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi.
00:08 Let's discuss but before that if you are watching this on Facebook do like our page
00:14 and if you are watching this on YouTube do subscribe to HW News English.
00:18 Reason number one. After almost one and a half years in custody in a money laundering case,
00:26 NCP leader Nawab Malik was released on bail under medical conditions on Monday.
00:32 Mr. Nawab Malik is suffering from kidney ailments for quite some time. Due to this,
00:38 Mr. Malik had applied for bail under medical grounds, which got rejected multiple times.
00:44 The latest was a month ago when the court said Mr. Malik is provided adequate, effective and
00:51 specialized medical assistance and his health condition is being monitored by the doctors
00:57 specialized in the field. Hence, his right to health or right to life is not curtailed or
01:03 infringed in any manner. And exactly a month later, Mr. Malik was granted two months bail
01:11 after Solicitor General Tushar Mehta did not object to his bail. Soon after this,
01:18 there were whispers in political circles that Mr. Malik's bail happened because Ajit Pawar had
01:25 joined hands with the BJP and that Malik would also join Ajit Pawar.
01:30 Reason number two. The Pawar meetings. It might not be wrong to say, but the uncle-nephew duo
01:38 have met more times after the rebellion than they used to meet prior to the rebellion. Sometimes,
01:45 to seek blessings at Mr. Pawar's home, sometimes at the Yashwant Rao Chavan Centre and sometimes
01:52 at a mutual friend's house. Reason number three. Neither faction have declared the number of
01:59 lawmakers backing them. Ajit Pawar's faction seems disinterested in claiming a stake to the party's
02:06 name and symbol. Neither faction leader is making any statement against the rival faction, except
02:13 for the starting first week of the rebellion. Even then, Mr. Pawar and Supriya Sule had not
02:20 directly attacked Ajit Pawar. If you see in the case of Shiv Sena, the UBT chief even today,
02:27 after an year of the rebellion, slams Eknath Shinde. Finally, reason number four. This is
02:34 one thing that I have highlighted earlier as well that the NCP Ajit Pawar faction still uses the
02:40 photograph of NCP founder Sharad Pawar in all their banners and Sharad Pawar does not seem to have
02:48 much of a problem with that. Now, let's talk a little bit about Maharashtra Vikas Agadi's other
02:54 two partners that are the Shiv Sena, that is the UBT that is led by Uddhav Bala Saheb Thackeray
03:00 and the Congress. The Shiv Sena and the Congress are considering the possibility of fighting the
03:07 upcoming Lok Sabha elections without the NCP and rather focusing on bringing together other smaller
03:15 parties together. Now, this comes at a time when Sharad Pawar did a secret meeting which is no
03:22 more a secret now with nephew Ajit Pawar in Pune at a businessman's house on Saturday. Now, there
03:30 are also reports that in the meeting, Ajit Pawar told Sharad Pawar that senior Pawar would be
03:35 accommodated in the Union Cabinet, that is the Modi Cabinet as Agriculture Minister or Chairperson
03:43 of the Neeti Aayog and his daughter Supriya Sule and State NCP President Jayant Patil would be
03:51 accommodated at the Centre and in the State Government respectively if they agree to support
03:57 the BJP led government. Now, this is the fourth time the nephew-uncle duo have met since the
04:05 rebellion. Besides, Mr. Sharad Pawar had also felicitated Mr. Modi for his supreme leadership
04:13 earlier in the month, despite India Alliance partners expressing displeasure. Mr. Pawar
04:21 responding to the criticism said, "It's nothing wrong in meeting his nephew. Ajit Pawar also
04:28 echoed similar sentiments." Now, let me tell you what the Congress has said.
04:34 Of course, it bothers us. The secret meetings between Pawars is a matter of concern for the
04:40 Congress. But I cannot make a final decision on it. It is the party's high command that will decide
04:48 the future course of action. Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole had said this to reporters
04:55 on Tuesday. Besides, the Congress has asked its observers to travel to all the 48 Lok Sabha
05:04 constituencies in Maharashtra and analyse the ground reality. A report from all these observers
05:12 will be discussed in the party's core committee meeting scheduled on August 16 in Mumbai.
05:18 Now, the question arises that if Mr. Pawar is asked to leave the Maharashtra Vikas Agadi,
05:24 then will the NCP Sharad Pawar faction go solo or a united NCP will join the Mahayuti and if
05:34 Mr. Pawar goes solo, will he still be part of the India Alliance? Because, whatever the Maharashtra
05:42 Congress would decide will have a nod from the party's high command. So, chances are that the
05:48 doors of the India Alliance might also close for Mr. Pawar. However, to take washing all reports,
05:56 Sharad Pawar said that the reports of the Shiv Sena and the Congress fighting the Lok Sabha
06:02 elections without the NCP are just rumours and the Thai party will look after the arrangements
06:09 for the upcoming India Alliance meeting that is scheduled for 31st August and 1st September in
06:16 Mumbai. He also confirmed that there is no plan for him to retire from politics anytime soon.
06:23 Mr. Pawar further also slammed the BJP. One more very interesting thing that Mr. Pawar said about
06:30 his meeting with Ajay Pawar, he said that he does not mix politics and family relations.
06:37 We also spoke to SW News Network Managing Editor Mr. Sujit Nair on this.
06:42 Let's listen in to what he has to say.
06:45 Shashank, how can Sharad Pawar say that he keeps relationships separate to politics? Who is number
06:51 one in NCP after Sharad Pawar? Supriya Sule. Is Sharad Pawar and Supriya Sule related? Who is
06:57 number two in NCP? Ajit Pawar. Is Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar related? Who is Rohit Pawar?
07:04 So, how can he say that he keeps relationships and parties separately? The most powerful seats
07:11 in NCP is occupied by the Pawars. So, NCP is one party which is literally a home run party,
07:18 which is literally a family run organization. So, he is saying that family and politics are
07:25 two different things doesn't make sense. Number one. Number two is, you see, it is high time that
07:30 Congress takes and Sivasena understands and realizes that they have to be ready to fight
07:36 the election without a Pawar. Because possibly chances are Pawar may ditch them at the last
07:41 minute, which I am sure Congress and Sivasena are aware of it. So, whatever said and done,
07:48 what Pawar says and what he does are two different things. So, it is in the interest of Congress and
07:53 Sivasena to ensure that they have a plan B and that plan B should be without NCP and it should
08:01 be how they are going to fight the Maharashtra election without NCP. Now, actually my mistake,
08:08 it should not be their plan B, it should be their plan A. Their plan B should be that if at all
08:14 what Sarath Pawar says is true, if at all he is there with them, then it is good.
08:18 They can see it at that point in time.
