Sharad Pawar's NCP suffers its worst election defeat in Maharashtra, losing to the BJP.

Sharad Pawar, a prominent Indian politician, is facing a significant defeat in Maharashtra's recent elections, with his Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) securing its lowest-ever seat count. The BJP emerged as the largest party, leading on 124 seats, followed by Shiv Sena on 57. Pawar's setback was exacerbated by his nephew Ajit Pawar's defection to the BJP and the loss of traditional NCP strongholds. Despite hints of retirement, Pawar's political decline marks a shift in Maharashtra's political landscape.
