NCP: Ncp (sp) Expects Entry Of More Bjp And Ncp Netas |

The NCP, led by Sharad Pawar, is gaining momentum ahead of the assembly elections in Maharashtra. Several BJP politicians, including those who had left the NCP with Ajit Pawar, are rejoining the party. Former BJP legislator Bapusaheb Pathare and former president of Jalgaon Zilla Parishad Dilip Khopade have joined the NCP, with Pathare expected to take on a trusted aide of Ajit Pawar in the upcoming elections. This is part of a trend where several senior politicians have joined the NCP recently. There are also talks of former Congress member Harshavardhan Patil joining the NCP. However, there has been some controversy with a letter criticizing Sharad Pawar for promoting his grandnephew in Baramati.
