CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) MLA Rohit Pawar launched a sharp political attack on Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde following the Mahayuti alliance’s unexpected defeat in the Nashik Legislative Council election. Using the phrase “the hunter has been hunted,” Pawar suggested that the setback marked a significant reversal for Shinde, who has often been viewed as a key strategist in Maharashtra’s shifting political landscape.
The remarks came after BJP rebel candidate Gokul Gite secured a surprise victory over the Mahayuti-backed candidate Narendra Darade in the Nashik Local Authorities constituency. The result has sparked intense political debate, with opposition leaders portraying it as evidence of growing dissatisfaction and internal divisions within the ruling alliance.
Pawar argued that the outcome demonstrated that political tactics used against opponents could eventually backfire on those employing them. His comments were widely seen as a direct reference to the series of defections and political realignments that have reshaped Maharashtra politics in recent years.
The Nashik MLC result is being viewed as politically significant because the constituency was considered favorable to the ruling alliance. Analysts believe the defeat may intensify discussions about alliance management, internal coordination, and future electoral strategies as Maharashtra’s political parties prepare for upcoming contests.
