Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, the counsel for Ajit Pawar's faction in the ongoing dispute over the NCP's name and symbol following the factional split in July, accused the Sharad Pawar faction of postponing the Election Commission (EC) hearing, arguing that the hearing had been repeatedly postponed because of the other side's indecision.

"They (Sharad Pawar faction) were delaying it, Election Commission ultimately said Friday...We hope their hearing will end on Friday and our side will resume on Tuesday. They sought time for two more days and EC granted it; we opposed it because they're just delaying," Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi told ANI.
