Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP leader Ajit Pawar during the party meeting at MET Bandra on July 5, 2023, in Mumbai, India. Nationalist Congress Party relives history just a year after Shiv Sena did it for the first time. This time, Ajit Pawar is asking for a seat at the table, a change in leadership, and staking a claim to the party founded by his uncle Sharad Pawar. 83-year-old veteran, on the other hand, is once again taking to the streets to rejuvenate his party. Voters in Maharashtra are watching haplessly.Image: Satish Bate/Hindustan Times via Getty Images
