Mumbai: Before the Maharashtra Assembly elections, Babajani Durrani of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has left the Ajit Pawar group and joined the Sharad Pawar faction. After Durrani, now there is talk about Pune Hadapsar MLA Chetan Tupe that he too can return to Sharad Pawar. Pune holds great importance for the Pawar family. Ajit Pawar is the Deputy Chief Minister of the state as well as the guardian of Pune i.e. the minister in charge. The possibility of Chetan Tupe returning to the Maha Vikas Aghadi has heated up the politics of the state. There is speculation about his joining the Sharad Pawar-led NCP because he attended a program in Pune on Sunday. In which MVA leaders were also present.
If Sharad Pawar says so, I will contest election against my father… Ajit faction MLA in Maharashtra gets challenge from his son
One rebellious tone after another
After the Lok Sabha elections, Rohit Pawar had claimed that at least 19 MLAs want to return. If Chetan Tupe does so in the return of Sharad Pawar’s party, it will be a big setback for Ajit Pawar, because the son of Deputy Speaker Narhari Zirwal in the state has already shown rebellious attitude. Narhari Zirwal’s son was even told that if you tear your chest, you will get Pawar. Gokul Zirwal has announced that if Sharad Pawar says so, he will also contest the election against his father. Narhari Zirwal is an MLA from Dindori. After this incident, Zirwal did not participate in the party meeting called by NCP state president Sunil Tatkare on Sunday. There is a discussion in political circles that even though Ajit Pawar was successful in keeping the party MLAs united in the Legislative Council elections, some MLAs may break away in the coming days. After Durrani leaving the party and Narhari’s son’s rebellious attitude, Chetan Tupe’s name is in the news.

What did Chetan Tupe say?
Chetan Tupe, MLA from Hadapsar in Pune, shared the stage with Pawar and several other Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) leaders at an event in Pune. When the media asked him about returning to Sharad Pawar, he said that it was a non-political event. He said that the event was organized by Satara District Mitra Mandal. They had invited me to attend the event. The MVA leaders present at the event included former NCP (SP) MP Srinivas Patil, former Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Mahadev Babar, former Congress MLA Balasaheb Shivarkar and NCP (SP) city president Prashant Jagtap. Chetan Tupe may be with Ajit Pawar, but he has not yet removed Sharad Pawar’s photo from his official account. In such a situation, there is talk that if Chetan Tupe, who became MLA for the first time in 2019 from Hadapsar, changes sides, then it should not be surprising.
