NCP leader (Ajit Pawar faction) Praful Patel said that in 2022, it was clear that Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) will collapse when Eknath Shinde had taken 40 MLAs to Surat and Guwahati. Furthermore, he expressed his feelings towards NCP chief Sharad Pawar and said, “He is our mentor and guru, we will always respect and regard him and his position, he is a father figure to all of us.” He said, “In 2022, when Eknath Shinde had taken 40 MLAs to Surat and Guwahati, it was sure the MVA govt will collapse, as a consequence, there were 51 MLAs of the NCP who at that time, clearly felt that we should be part of the govt... there is no ideological difference, if we have gone with Shiv Sena, then we can definitely go with the BJP. Sharad Pawar is our mentor and Guru...we will always respect and regard him and his position, he is a father figure to all of us. We are using his picture not out of disrespect, but we are showing our reverence towards him”.

The debate has once again intensified on the death of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput and his ex-manager Disha Salian. This matter has once again been raised from the Parliament of the country to the Legislative Assembly of Maharashtra. Earlier in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, BJP leader Nitish Rane had demanded Aditya Thackeray's Narco Test to be conducted so that the truth of Sushant Singh Rajput and Disha Salian's death could be revealed. On this whole issue, Aditya Thackeray said that by making personal allegations, efforts are being made to divert attention from other issues. On the other hand, NCP involved in Maha Vikas Aghadi is seen standing with Aditya Thackeray on this matter. However, once again the case of Sushant Singh Rajput and Disha Sanyal has come out. The possibility of fierce politics is also visible on this issue.
