Ahead of the Maharashtra Assembly election 2024, former Maharashtra minister Rajendra Shingne on Saturday returned to the Sharad Pawar-led faction of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), reported the PTI.

Rajendra Shingne had quit the NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) last year and joined the Ajit Pawar-led NCP which is part of the ruling BJP-led coalition.
