After Lok Sabha debacle, war of words between BJP and NCP

NDA allies BJP and the Ajit Pawar-led NCP are locked in a war of words over a critical article in Organiser, a weekly publication affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The article criticized the BJP’s decision to ally with the NCP in Maharashtra, describing the move as “unnecessary politicking” and arguing that the induction of Ajit Pawar’s NCP into the NDA had diminished the BJP’s brand value.
