Surge in political circles
(Sharad Pawar) All political parties have started preparing for the local self-government elections. In this context, the Nationalist Congress Party led by Sharadchandra Pawar has made a significant decision, clearly instructing not to form any alliance with the BJP at the local level. However, it is reported that Sharad Pawar has indicated the possibility of an alliance with Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena at the local level.
The election schedule for 246 municipal councils and 42 municipal panchayats in the state has been announced, with voting to take place on December 2 and counting on December 3. 'Make decisions about alliances based on the local situation' but do not form an alliance with the BJP, Sharad Pawar has instructed all office bearers.
There is information that senior leaders have instructed their officials and workers to form alliances with any party except BJP. Now it is seen that Pawar's NCP is ready to ally with others except BJP, and there are discussions in political circles about Sharad Pawar giving an open offer to Eknath Shinde. This decision could start changing the equation of opposition parties in many districts of the state. Sharad Pawar has given clear instructions to all officials to review the local situation and make decisions regarding alliances accordingly.
