Under the leadership of district president of Ratlam Rural Tribal Congress Committee Bherulal Gamad, a memorandum was submitted to the joint collector addressing the Governor demanding a stern action against Pravesh Shukla. 

It was said in the memorandum that an atmosphere of fear and terror was created in the tribal community by the viral video of BJP worker Pravesh Shukla urinating on a tribal youth by BJP MLA Kedarnath Shukla of Sidhi Assembly Constituency, but the administration only registered case against the accused under relevant Section of the SC/ST Act.

The majority figure in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, which is required to form the government, is 145 out of a total of 288 seats. Until last Sunday, the BJP-Shiv Sena combine government, led by Eknath Shinde, had more than enough seats to maintain stability (BJP 105+ SS 40+ Independents 10). There was no need to seek the support of Ajit Pawar and his group, who rebelled from the NCP. So, why did the BJP engineer "Operation Ajit Pawar"? The answer lies in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha election.

NCP president Sharad Pawar slammed his nephew and renegade NCP leader Ajit Pawar on Tuesday, saying his portrait should only be used with his consent and those who disagree with him should avoid from using it. Sharad Pawar's comments came after a photo of him was spotted inside the new Ajit Pawar-led faction's office.

Speaking with reporters, Pawar stated: “Only the party of which I am the national president and Jayant Patil the state president can use my photograph," news agency PTI reported. 

Just a few days after Ajit Pawar took oath as the second Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, the Maha Vikar Aghadi (MVA) announced the launch of a statewide tour to galvanise support for their fight against the Shiv Sena-BJP government after Congress leaders met NCP supremo Sharad Pawar.

The national party has extended its support to NCP in the wake of the crisis that has ensued within the party.

The NCP is in churn after senior leader Ajit Pawar joined the Shiv Sena-BJP government as deputy chief minister along with eight MLAs who took oath as ministers. The Ajit Pawar camp has claimed the support of 40 out of 53 MLAs of the Nationalist Congress Party.
