Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) founder Sharad Pawar while reacting to the disqualification pleas verdict said that the judgement was 'not at all surprising', reported the PTI.

According to the PTI, Maharashtra assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar's verdict in the Shiv Sena MLAs disqualification case, which went in favour of the faction led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, was "not at all surprising", but it should be challenged in the Supreme Court by the rival group led by Uddhav Thackeray, NCP founder Sharad Pawar said.
