NCP chief Sharad Pawar wants to declare his MP daughter Supriya Sule as his political heir due to his health reasons. Perhaps that is why Pawar had recently resigned from his post as NCP chief, wanting to “turn himself into a guide by handing over the chair of NCP chief to his daughter.” He called his nephew Ajit Pawar and wanted to explain that Ajit should keep his focus in Maharashtra politics and Supriya should write the script of expansion of NCP at the national level, but Ajit did not agree on this. On the contrary, he threatened that “if Supriya is declared the NCP president, he will join the BJP along with most of the party’s MLAs.” This is the reason why Pawar had to withdraw his resignation to adopt a middle-of-the-road posture. On the other hand, the BJP is also having to reconsider its strategies due to the recent decision of the Supreme Court on the Shinde government of Maharashtra. Otherwise, if the Supreme Court had declared the Shinde government unconstitutional, the BJP would have got a unique opportunity to get rid of Shinde. The BJP knows it cannot win Maharashtra with Shinde on its shoulders, so party strategists from within had established contact with disgruntled NCP leader Ajit Pawar, who would have been made the deputy chief minister in the new BJP government led by Devendra Fadnavis. This coalition was ready to be formed, but the recent decision of the court ruined the intentions of both the parties.
