Congress And Ncp

A 'red book' threw up 'red flags' Thursday as the Congress and BJP - and their allies, the Shiv Sena and NCP factions - squabble in the build-up to the November 20 Maharashtra Assembly election.

The split in the Nationalist Congress Party has cast its shadow on the famed Diwali celebrations of the Pawars, with different events being organised for the first time by Sharad Pawar and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in Pune.

Nawab Malik, leader of Nationalist Congress Party's Ajit Pawar faction and a big face in Maharashtra politics, has announced that he will contest from Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar - where Samajwadi Party's Abu Azmi is the three-time sitting legislator.

Ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections, Maharashtra Kesri and Hind Kesri wrestler Dinanath Singh joined Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in Mumbai on Tuesday.

The Maharashtra Assembly elections are just over a month away and the opposition MahaVikas Aghadi has firmed up seat sharing on 263 of the state's 288 Assembly constituencies, sources told NDTV.

Historically, this region has seen close contests between the BJP and the Congress.

Sources told NDTV that the three shooters came to Mumbai 28 days before Baba Siddique was murdered. In this time, they did a recce of the NCP leader's home and office five times.

After veteran NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was shot dead near his son's office in Mumbai's Bandra last night, a political slugfest has erupted over the killing between the ruling BJP and Opposition parties.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said the killing of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Baba Siddique 'exposed' the collapse of law and order in Maharashtra.

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Friday said he will back any candidate announced by the Congress and NCP (SP) as Maha Vikas Aghadi's chief ministerial face.

In a surprise announcement, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) National President and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Sunday said that the party will contest the local and civic body elections in Maharashtra independently.

A sarpanch of a village was shot and killed, and another person was injured after they were attacked allegedly by an office-bearer of the Nationalist Congress Party (SP) and his aides in Maharashtra's Beed district, police said on Monday.

The Opposition alliance of Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress and NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) will reveal its Chief Minister choice in due course, but the ruling coalition led by the BJP must show the "face of failure" first, Uddhav Thackeray said today

Both Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar have clearly emerged as the winners in the legacy battles for their respective parties.

Shiv Sena faction leader Uddhav Thackeray, NCP faction boss Sharad Pawar, and the Congress' Prithivraj Chavan have thanked voters for the Lok Sabha election result that favoured their alliance over the BJP's NDA.
