PMC & PCMC polls: Part of govt, but opposition role awaits Ajit Pawar’s NCP

Ajit Pawar faces a political challenge after local election results, potentially placing his party in opposition despite being part of the state government. While BJP secured a majority, Pawar's NCP, allied with his uncle's faction, won fewer seats. Observers anticipate a shift in Pawar's public stance towards the BJP, focusing on governance rather than criticism.
