The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is led by Sharad Pawar, so the party and its symbol are associated with him.
The NCP will not merge with the Congress party. This question doesn’t even arise. This discussion has emerged without any basis. Congress is our ally. We are working hard to ensure that we get the election symbol as soon as possible.
Will the Nationalist Congress Party merge with the Congress? Anil Deshmukh gave a direct answer to above question.
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is a national party in India, primarily influential in Maharashtra. It was founded by Sharad Pawar in 1999, and since then, the party has been a coalition partner with the Indian National Congress from 1999 to 2014, holding power in the state of Maharashtra during that period. The party also participated in the central government coalition led by the Congress from 2004 to 2014.
In the past week, the decision to grant the name and symbol of the Nationalist Congress Party to Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s faction was brought before the Election Commission for approval. Following this decision, there have been allegations and counter-allegations between the Sharad Pawar faction and the Ajit Pawar faction. On one side, there is a possibility that the symbol will soon be granted to Sharad Pawar’s faction, while on the other side, there is speculation that the Sharad Pawar faction might soon merge with the Congress party.
