The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) Telangana unit has turned its focus to the deletions of voters’ names during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise, asking its volunteers to identify affected electors and help them seek rectification.

This was among the many other issues discussed at a volunteer meeting organised by the party at Lamakaan in Hyderabad on Saturday (September 26, 2026) where members from different parts of Telangana gathered to discuss grassroots outreach, citizens’ rights and the party’s organisational expansion.

The CJP leadership also reiterated its three demands concerning Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar and discussed the need for volunteers to fact-check cases involving voters whose names were allegedly removed from electoral rolls during the SIR exercise.

The meeting was led by CJP South Zone in-charge and media head Vijay Mallangi. The meeting came in the wake of a recent visit by the CJP team, led by Mr. Mallangi, to MGM Hospital Warangal. The party said the visit was followed by the Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy directing officials to expedite the ongoing construction works at the hospital.

Beyond the immediate political issues, the meeting was aimed at building a wider volunteer network across the State and familiarising members with the party’s ideology and principles. The leadership spoke to volunteers about democratic and constitutional values and the role of citizens in protecting their fundamental rights.

The participants later took a pledge based on the principles enshrined in the Constitution of India, reaffirming their commitment to uphold constitutional values in their public and organisational activities. The meeting also served as a platform for volunteers from different regions to exchange views and coordinate their activities.

Ajit Pawar’s appointment as national NCP chief “illegal”, Sharad Pawar’s faction tells Election Commission: Sources

New Delhi:

The appointment of Ajit Pawar as the Nationalist Congress Party’s National President is “illegal”, the Sharad Pawar-led faction fumed Friday in its reply to the Election Commission of India. The Pawar side of the NCP was responding to a plea by Ajit Pawar’s half staking claim to the NCP’s symbol. The plea was filed “to pre-emptively avoid inevitable disqualification (of the rebel leaders)”, the response said.

The Pawar camp has told the top poll body the Constitution of the party does not allow legislators to appoint a party boss, and that Ajit Pawar had “unilaterally sought to appoint himself as the boss on basis of signatures of some legislators”; the contentious resolution had Ajit Pawar as ‘Signatory No 1’.

The Sharad Pawar faction has also stressed that “there is no split in the NCP” – which was divided earlier this year after the nephew rebelled against the uncle and joined hands with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, which is itself propped up by a rebel faction of the Shiv Sena.

The Pawar faction further argued that Ajit Pawar held a National Convention – without issuing notice or appointing a Chief Returning Officer – where his “appointment” was ratified.

Ajit Pawar, 63, was restored as Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister – a post he held in the former government too – after he walked out of the NCP, taking over 40 lawmakers with him.

Pawar senior’s response also said disqualification petitions had been moved against “nine delinquent MLAs (on July 2) and 20 MLAs (on September 5) on grounds of anti-party activities”.

“It is submitted… affidavits of MLAs against whom disqualification petitions are pending cannot be taken into account for purpose of deciding the majority. Therefore, affidavits of 29 MLAs… cannot be taken into account for purpose of ascertaining majority of petitioner,” the Sharad Pawar camp said.

“Of the remaining 24 MLAs, it is submitted the respondent continues to enjoy support of 12…”

NCP boss Sharad Pawar’s faction underlined its stance on this issue in August too; in which Mr Pawar, 82, said “a few” had left to “take a different political stance (but) this does not constitute a split”.

“It’s not like a majority of the people from the party are going out. Some people have taken a different stand, democracy allows them to do so. It’s not a split in the party,” he had said.

Also in August, the Sharad Pawar camp told the Election Commission that Ajit Pawar’s demand for the NCP symbol is “premature”, “malafide” and should be rejected.

“Ajit Pawar has not been able to demonstrate, even prima facie, there exists a dispute (within the) NCP… Election Commission has also not made any prima facie determination there is any dispute between NCP, led by National President Sharad Pawar, and former members (led by Ajit Pawar).”
