On Sunday, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) experienced an internal division as senior leader Ajit Pawar joined the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) along with a group of MLAs.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) working president Supriya Sule on Sunday met party workers after NCP's Ajit Pawar, along with 8 MLAs, joined the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra cabinet.
"This is a very good development, I welcome that development in Maharashtra...I am happy about the decision and the people of Maharashtra are also happy...", Yediyurappa said.
According to sources, MLAs accompanying Ajit Pawar to Raj Bhawan were upset with NCP supremo Sharad Pawar's 'unilateral' decision to share stage and ally with Rahul Gandhi at the opposition unity meet in Bihar's Patna last month.
