Veteran political leader Sharad Pawar, embroiled in a battle with his nephew Ajit Pawar for the name and symbol of the party he founded, has lost. Much like the way the Sena versus Sena battle played out, the Election Commission has awarded both to the faction of the Nationalist Congress Party led by Ajit Pawar. It also means the Ajit Pawar faction will have control of the party's assets and ban accounts, which might put the other faction under heavy financial constraints.
