In the wake of Ajit Pawar's tragic demise, Sharad Pawar, the NCP (SP) chief, faces the dual challenge of steering through family obligations and political intricacies. Emphasizing family support over potential mergers, Pawar countered narratives put forth by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, asserting his authoritative stance.

Pawar's recent interaction with Ajit Pawar's progeny and his subsequent visit to Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar underscore his commitment to family cohesion during this transition. However, the unpredictability of the NCP factional landscape looms as Pawar sidesteps definitive merger discussions.

The leadership dynamics within the Nationalist Congress Party remain fluid, especially with Sunetra Pawar's rise as Deputy CM and the ongoing speculation about the party's future trajectory. This internal turmoil has drawn criticism within the political sphere, highlighting alliances and loyalties.
