NCP (SP) MLA Rohit Pawar has claimed that Praful Patel, Sunil Tatkare and 22 NCP MLAs will contest upcoming elections on BJP tickets. He also raised allegations of drug sales and extortion in Baramati, turning the spotlight on internal party tensions. An NCP spokesperson rejected the charge, saying the party remains united under Sunetra Pawar.
Rohit Pawar says Baramati residents oppose a potential “Pawar versus Pawar” election in 2029, claiming some NCP members may want it to break the Pawar family’s political legacy. The remarks have sparked speculation about a possible contest involving Jay Pawar and Yugendra Pawar, while Shrinivas Pawar dismissed such talk as premature.
