Sharad Pawar, the chief of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and a prominent Indian politician, has stated that Bangladesh’s interim government head, Muhammad Yunus, is a secular leader who will ensure harmony among the nation’s diverse communities. Pawar’s comments came during an interview with PTI on August 12th.
**New Delhi:** Amidst the ongoing election results, the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) group of parties is likely to hold a meeting in Delhi on June 5 to discuss future strategy. Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Sharad Pawar confirmed the meeting and stated that a decision on the next PM would be taken unanimously.
Mr. Pawar also mentioned that he had spoken to Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge and Left party leader Sitaram Yechury regarding the meeting. He clarified that the meeting was not related to government formation but to chart the future course of action for the alliance.
As of 3.45 p.m., the NCPSP was leading in at least seven seats in Maharashtra, while the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, which includes the NCPSP, was leading in 29 out of 48 seats. Mr. Pawar’s daughter, Supriya Sule, was also leading in her stronghold of Baramati with a significant margin.
Meanwhile, the ruling BJP was leading in 11 seats, and Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena was leading in 6 seats.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar’s absence from the fifth phase of the Lok Sabha election campaign has sparked speculation of unrest within the party. Despite actively campaigning in earlier phases, Pawar has been conspicuously absent from rallies for his BJP and Shiv Sena allies, leading to rumors of dissatisfaction with the allocation of only four Lok Sabha seats to the NCP. The rumors were further fueled by reports of meetings between rebel NCP leader Sunil Tatkare and NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, despite denials from both parties. Senior NCP leaders Chhagan Bhujbal and Anil Deshmukh have expressed varying viewpoints, with Bhujbal hinting at sympathy for Pawar and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, while Deshmukh ruled out reconciliation with rebel leaders. Political analyst Vivek Bhavsar suggests that the NCP’s absence from campaigning in key seats may indicate a shift in power dynamics within the party.
Amidst the high-stakes electoral battle in Baramati, an unexpected candidate named Sharad Ram Pawar has emerged, injecting a dose of intrigue into the race.

His entry raises questions about his motives and the potential impact on the vote count, especially for the NCP(SP) candidate, Supriya Sule.
