MUMBAI: As both factions of the Nationalist Congres Party get ready to present their sides before the Election Commission of India, Rajya Sabha member Praful Patel, who is with the Ajit Pawar faction, shared a photo with NCP founder Sharad Pawar in the new Parliament building. The Sharad Pawar group called it the magnanimity of the octogenarian leader. The Election Commission of India has said that NCP is divided and has asked both sides to present their case during a hearing before it on October 6. “An electrifying day at the new Parliament House! The Rajya Sabha Chamber is a marvel, and sharing this moment with Hon’ble Sharad Pawar Saheb makes it even more special. And now, savoring some snacks and camaraderie with friends in the cafeteria - truly a day to remember!” wrote Patel on X. Patel is with the rebel NCP group led by Ajit Pawar that joined hands with the ruling combine of Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and BJP in Maharashtra in July.
