The NCP had lost Shrirur and Maval Lok Sabha seats and managed to retain Baramati.
However, the main concern for the party in the home district of party chief Sharad Pawar is that it has lagged behind in 12 of the 21 Assembly segments, including the one represented by State Finance Minister Dilip Walse-Patil.
On the other hand, the Congress had won the Pune Lok Sabha seat. It has demanded the local NCP unit to sever ties with the saffron allies in the PMC or go separately. “The Congress will go all alone in the Assembly polls if the NCP fails to break ties with the saffron parties in the civic body,” Congress MP Suresh Kalmadi had said.
