History
In July 2023, Ajit Pawar, along with 40 MLAs, left the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party and joined the ruling Shiv Sena – BJP government as Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.[12] This caused the split in NCP.[13] On 7 February 2024, ECI awarded the party name and symbol to the faction headed by Ajit Pawar.[11] The faction led by Sharad Pawar got a new name "Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar)".[14]
Party symbol
ECI has allotted "a man blowing tura (trumpet)" (in Marathi तुतारी वाजवणारा माणूस) as symbol to the party.[15]
Party flag
The flag of the Nationalist Congress Party – Sharadchandra Pawar after the split contains its logo and the Indian flag.[16]
