After more than a month of the Ajit Pawar-led rebellion. Nationalist Congress Party president Sharad Pawar on Friday said that there is no split in the party and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar is still their leader."There is no conflict that he (Ajit Pawar) is our leader, there is no split in NCP. How does a split happen in a party? It happens when a big group separates from the party at the national level. But there is no such situation in NCP today. Yes, some leaders took a different stance but this cannot be called a split. They can do so in a democracy," Pawar was quoted saying by news agency ANI.

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
00:20 do like our page and if you are watching this on YouTube do subscribe to HW News English.
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?
