Modi 3.0: No Cabinet Post for NCP, Ajit Pawar Says ‘Ready to Wait Few Days But…’

In a surprising turn of events, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Sharad Pawar will not have a representative in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s newly formed Cabinet. This news has come as a disappointment to the party, which had been expecting a ministerial berth considering its support to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the recent Maharashtra Assembly elections.

Ajit Pawar, the nephew of Sharad Pawar and a senior NCP leader, expressed his disappointment but indicated that the party was willing to wait. “We are ready to wait for a few days, but we do expect a cabinet berth,” he said. “We have made our position clear to the BJP.”

Sources within the BJP have indicated that the decision to not include an NCP member in the Cabinet was made due to concerns about the party’s lack of clarity on its political ideology. The NCP has a history of being both an ally and an opponent of the BJP.

Despite the setback, the NCP has vowed to continue supporting the BJP government in Maharashtra. Ajit Pawar has stated that the party will play a constructive role in the state’s development.

However, it remains to be seen how the NCP’s absence from the Cabinet will impact its relationship with the BJP in the long run. Political observers believe that the party may eventually seek to distance itself from the ruling coalition if it feels its interests are not being adequately represented.

For now, the NCP is playing a wait-and-see approach, hoping that the BJP will eventually offer them a Cabinet post in recognition of their support. If this does not happen, the NCP could find itself in a difficult position, caught between its ideological commitments and its desire for political power.
