Split decision: On the rivalry between the two NCP factions

The ECI and the office of the Speaker have not played fair in cases of defection (the act of abandoning one’s allegiance to join another group).

In the run-up to the impending election to the Maharashtra Assembly, the rivalry between the two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), now operating as separate parties, will have its inevitable influence on political developments and electoral outcomes. In the latest development related to the rift (a serious break or split), NCP founder Sharad Pawar has approached the Supreme Court for a direction to the NCP led by Ajit Pawar to opt for a new symbol in the Assembly elections. The NCP’s ‘clock’ symbol is with the Ajit Pawar group, following a ruling by the Election Commission of India (ECI) in February, recognising it as the official NCP. There is some logic (clear reasoning) to the demand that the Ajit Pawar group give up the ‘clock’ now. The ECI’s order has already been challenged in the Supreme Court. Oral observations in early hearings indicated that there are some doubts about the ‘legislative’ (related to laws or the making of laws) majority test adopted by the ECI while recognising the Ajit Pawar faction as the NCP and allotting the ‘clock’ to the group. The ECI’s order had justified the use of the legislative majority test by observing that the test on which group had organisational (related to the structure or management of an organization) majority was inconclusive (not leading to a definite result), as was the test based on the party’s ‘aims and objectives’. Mr. Ajit Pawar revolted (rose up in rebellion) against his uncle and joined the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance and became part of the ruling Mahayuti coalition, while the NCP (Sharad Pawar) is part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi, the opposition combine that includes the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Congress.
However, in the Lok Sabha elections, Mr. Ajit Pawar’s group won only one seat, while Mr. Sharad Pawar’s party, using the symbol of a ‘man blowing a turha’ (trumpet), won eight, besides polling (collecting votes in an election) a much higher number of votes. The outcome raises the question of whether the legislative majority during a given period could be used to gain or lose recognition. Further, Mr. Sharad Pawar has argued that the ‘clock’ has been the NCP’s reserved symbol for many years and allotting it to one group may cause confusion (lack of clarity or understanding) in the voters’ minds. The court will have to decide whether to have a level-playing field (a situation where everyone has equal opportunities) by denying the ‘clock’ symbol to both sides or let the recognised faction use the symbol as long as the ECI order is in force. Such disputes, including the other major rift in Maharashtra over who represents the Shiv Sena, pose a challenge to the ability of parties to maintain organisational unity in the face of attempts to split them through defection and rebellion. The fate of the individuals and parties involved often depends on the Speaker under the anti-defection law and the ECI, which accords recognition to parties and allots symbols. Both institutions seem to need the Supreme Court to keep them honest.
