Sanjay Raut Says 20-22 MLAs May Leave Sunetra Pawar-Led NCP Faction
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut claimed that 20 to 22 MLAs from the Sunetra Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) may leave the faction, possibly rejoining Sharad Pawar's camp or joining other parties before upcoming elections. Raut criticized the current NCP leadership under Sunetra Pawar, suggesting legislators feel diminished after Ajit Pawar's death. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis stated any NCP merger requires BJP consultation, which Raut disputed. Raut also condemned recent controversial developments in the Kolhapur-based Gokul Dairy elections involving ruling coalition ministers.
