In a swipe at opposition parties, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) asked if their efforts to forge unity in the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha polls were "completely disturbed" after Ajit Pawar and eight other NCP MLAs joined the Eknath Shinde-led Maharashtra government on Sunday.

"PDA - Poora (completely) Disturbed Alliance?" BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla tweeted in a swipe at the opposition leaders' attempt at forming an alliance to take on the BJP in 2024.
