EC’s ruling against SC order, will challenge it in apex court: Sharad Pawar-led NCP group
On Tuesday, the EC gave the Nationalist Congress Party name and the "clock" election symbol to the group led by Ajit Pawar, who had walked away with a majority NCP MLAs in the Maharashtra assembly in July last year and joined the Shiv Sena-BJP government. The Ajit Pawar faction is the 'real' Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), the EC had said in its ruling that came as a major setback to party founder Sharad Pawar. Ajit Pawar is now a deputy chief minister.
