Big shocker for India's permanent .... eternal PM-material

The EC made a concession to the Sharad Pawar camp by allowing it a "one-time option" to claim a name for its political outfit and provide three preferences by Wednesday afternoon in view of the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls.

Maratha strongman, Sharad Pawar, stumped !! Despite having 7-8 MPS, Mumbai press always loved to see a 'big potential' in Sharad Pawar !!

Ajit Pawar-led faction is 'real' NCP: Election Commission

The Election Commission on Tuesday declared the Ajit Pawar-led faction of the Nationalist Congress Party as the "real" NCP, putting an end to the factional dispute with party founder and his uncle Sharad Pawar.

"The test of majority in the legislative wing found favour in this circumstance of the case, where both groups have found to be working outside the party constitution and the organisational elections," the poll panel added.

The Election Commission said that the "test of legislative majority" helped Ajit Pawar's faction clinch the NCP symbol in view of the disputed internal organisational elections.

The NCP witnessed a split in July 2023 after Ajit Pawar rebelled against his uncle and NCP founder Sharad Pawar and joined the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena government in Maharashtra.

Both factions had staked claim to the party name and symbol before the Election Commission. 

The poll panel has ruled in favour of Ajit Pawar's faction, declaring it as the 'real' NCP and alloting the NCP symbol 'Wall Clock' to it.

Reacting to the development, Ajit Pawar said on social media: "We humbly accept the decision given by the Election Commission after listening to the side presented by our lawyers."

The Election Commission has provided a special concession to Sharad Pawar to name his new political formation in view of the Rajya Sabha elections. He was given time to give three names by 4 pm on Wednesday.

The poll panel's decision came after more than 10 hearings by both factions' legal teams, spread over more than six months. Notably, the Ajit Pawar-led faction's legal team consisted of Mukul Rohatgi, Neeraj Kaul, Abhikalp Pratap Singh, Shrirang Varma, Devanshi Singh, Aditya Krishna, and Yamini Singh.

I do believe that Nationalism denuded of its Hindu content is meaningless.... Secularism does not mean that this country was born only in 1947  : 

- L K Advani in 1990

BJP patriarch L K Advani’s involvement with the RSS began in 1942 when he became a Swayamsevak. His commitment led him to become a Pracharak during the pre-Independence era, where he was assigned full-time work in Rajasthan. 

Advani was also a journalist and his role as Assistant Editor at 'Organiser' Weekly, the well known right wing magazine, underscores his multifaceted career and his significant influence beyond politics. 

L K Advani: 

Asked, whether or not he stood for Hindutva; 

Advani had said : "I stand for nationalism...pure and simple. But I do believe that Nationalism denuded of its Hindu content is meaningless. 

"Unequivocally and unreservedly, I stand for a Secular India...".

Secularism according to me means -- three things - It does not mean any religious state

# It does not mean, Disowning Our Past, And Culture and Heritage

$$ It does not mean that this country was born only in 1947   

Ramayan -- irrespective of a person being Hindu or Muslim is part of his culture !!
