As the Ajit Pawar faction extended an olive branch to Sharad Pawar, regretting his rebellion and requesting the senior leader to keep the Nationalist Congress Party intact, the Opposition boycotted the Chief Minister`s customary tea party on the eve of the Monsoon session of the State Legislature. The session will see interesting developments over the recent split in the NCP, and a year-old break-up between Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray that continues to resonate in the lower house.
This will be the first session after Ajit Pawar split the NCP on July 2. Neither he nor the rival faction has informed the house about the split, but have written letters to certain authorities and served notices. In this view, Chief Minister Shinde claimed support of 210 MLAs, but it remained to be seen whether the government counts that much on its side, because the Sharad Pawar faction has asked the Speaker to allow its MLAs, barring newly-inducted ministers, to sit on the opposition benches.
