At the India Today Conclave in Mumbai, NCP's acting president Supriya Sule discussed the issue of 'real vs fake'. The question of 'real vs fake' had surfaced during the previous Lok Sabha elections in the state's politics, where Ajit Pawar allegedly hijacked the party created by Sharad Pawar. In the recent elections, such allegations resurfaced, suggesting that the elections would clarify who is real. In response to a question, Supriya Sule said that the entire India knows this.
Supriya Sule, acting president of NCP (SP), addressed the 'real vs fake' question by stating that she does not need to wait for this answer, as the whole of India already knows who is real and who has time for the fake. This question was actually in reference to the conflict between Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar, where it became a common topic that the elections would clarify the real from the fake.

Election Commission had to make a decision
After the Election Commission's decision, it became clear that Ajit Pawar had legitimate control over the NCP, and the party's symbol was handed over to him. Later, Sharad Pawar renamed his party to NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar), which Supriya Sule currently leads as the acting president. She denied allegations that Sharad Pawar was biased toward her.
Was Sharad Pawar being partial?
Supriya Sule responded to such allegations by stating that she is ready to discuss the issue with anyone, including Ajit Pawar. She asserted that there was no issue of succession in the party, but the way Ajit Pawar left was wrong. She said, "He (Ajit Pawar) left our lives in disarray. He had the option. It was in his hands to stay."

Supriya Sule clarified that there was no issue of succession involved. It was a matter of alliance (where Ajit Pawar distanced himself from NCP and joined the BJP alliance).
