During this time many other leaders of ajit pawar faction were also present. ncp is expected to get further strength with the joining of former minister Gulabrao Devkar, who has been considered a loyalist of ncp sharad pawar for a long time, with the ajit pawar faction.
Gulabrao Devkar lost the election from Jalgaon Rural seat
Gulabrao Devkar contested the assembly elections from Jalgaon Rural seat from Sharad Pawar's party, but he had to face defeat. It is believed that after the sharad pawar faction suffered a setback in the lok sabha and assembly elections in Jalgaon district, there was a rift among the party workers. Similarly, when the local body elections are near, many workers feel that they should be in the ruling party and perhaps due to this feeling, Gulabrao Devkar joined Ajit Dada Pawar's NCP.

He said, "We have never discriminated on the basis of caste or religion in politics or public life. Just like Chhatrapati shivaji Maharaj ruled with all the castes, ncp works in the same way."
