With the Supreme Court directing the state government to hold long-pending local body elections in Maharashtra, political activity has intensified across parties. Against this backdrop, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP \u2013 Ajit Pawar faction) chief and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has issued a strong directive to his party\u2019s MLAs: \u201cstay in your constituencies, strengthen the organisation, and don\u2019t depend on anyone else.”<\/p>\n

During a regular party meeting held late Tuesday night at Mumbai\u2019s Trident Hotel, Ajit Pawar reportedly expressed displeasure over several MLAs and district in-charges (\u201csampark mantris”) not taking ground-level responsibilities seriously. According to sources present at the meeting, Pawar told the legislators, \u201cHalf of our ministers and MLAs who are Sampark Mantri are not visiting their assigned districts. Don\u2019t rely on others or spend unnecessary time in Mumbai. Go to your constituencies, work with the people, and show the party\u2019s strength.”<\/p>\n

Ajit Pawar emphasised that with the local self-government elections \u2014 including municipal corporations and zilla parishads \u2014 approaching, every MLA must focus entirely on local-level preparations. He warned against complacency, reminding them that the party\u2019s organisational base will be tested in these polls, which are crucial for asserting the NCP\u2019s independent identity within the ruling Mahayuti alliance.<\/p>\n

While reiterating his commitment to the alliance, Pawar also made it clear that the NCP will take decisions based on ground realities in each district. \u201cWe are part of the Mahayuti, but that doesn\u2019t mean we wait for others. Be ready to fight on your own strength,” he reportedly told the legislators.<\/p>\n

The NCP meeting, which lasted several hours, reviewed constituency-level reports and upcoming poll strategies. Pawar directed all MLAs to remain in constant touch with local workers and voters and avoid over-dependence on alliance partners.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court\u2019s recent order to expedite the conduct of local body elections has set off political preparations across Maharashtra. For the NCP (Ajit Pawar faction), these polls will serve as a litmus test \u2014 not only of organisational readiness but also of Ajit Pawar\u2019s leadership within the broader Mahayuti framework.<\/p>\n
