Ajit Pawar, the veteran leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), is facing a challenging future after a series of setbacks. His recent attempt to split the NCP, which ultimately failed, has left him isolated within the party and facing significant public scrutiny.

The failure of the split, which was seen as a move to align with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), further damaged his image. He was widely criticized for his actions, perceived as a betrayal of his party and principles. Additionally, his political maneuverings were met with strong opposition from the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the ideological mentor of the BJP, who reportedly viewed his actions as a threat to their agenda.

The public’s disapproval was evident in the recent Maharashtra assembly elections where the NCP, despite its strong foothold in the state, suffered a major setback. This defeat can be partly attributed to the perception that Pawar’s political machinations undermined the party’s credibility.

Moreover, the BJP’s increasing dominance in Maharashtra politics further complicates Pawar’s future. With the RSS exerting considerable influence on the BJP, his future within the party remains uncertain. Despite his past attempts to forge alliances with the BJP, his actions seem to have alienated the RSS, making a future partnership unlikely.

While Pawar remains a powerful figure in Maharashtra politics, his recent decisions have significantly impacted his political standing. The future for him appears uncertain, with the shadow of public disapproval and the potential influence of the RSS looming large. His ability to navigate this complex political landscape and revive his political career remains to be seen.
