The NCP expressed concerns on Wednesday about Chief Minister Eknath Shinde`s apparent lack of control over his party`s leaders, especially given Shiv Sena leader Vijay Shivtare`s persistent criticism of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. The NCP emphasised the importance of following coalition principles and the need for unity within the Mahayuti alliance.
Shivtare`s continuing attacks on Ajit Pawar, despite meeting with Shinde in Mumbai, have enraged the NCP, particularly given Ajit Pawar`s wife, Sunetra`s, prospective candidature for the Baramati Lok Sabha seat, reported PTI. According to the report, NCP has publicly expressed its discontent with Shinde`s Shiv Sena for the second time in the last ten days.
