As Pawars gear up for NCP Foundation Day events, rival camps expect clarity amid reunion buzz
Rival factions of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) will hold separate Foundation Day gatherings in Pune on June 10 in the backdrop of a growing buzz over a reunion, though both sides insisted there was no such proposal on the table despite frequent meetings between their top leaders. Maharashtra NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) president Jayant Patil clarified that talk about both the factions coming together was "only in the air", and there has been no discussion on a possible reunion. Talking to PTI, Patil said, ''On June 10, we will celebrate the 26th year of foundation of our party. It is our Foundation Day, and there is no formal talk of a reunion between the two factions. The buzz is only in the air. But I think there is a possibility of clarity on the issue after the Foundation Day programme."

Sharad Pawar will address workers and office-bearers of the opposition party at the function in the morning, and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar , who heads the ruling NCP, will participate in a Foundation Day programme of his faction the same evening in Pune. Live Events State NCP president Sunil Tatkare also clarified there was no proposal or discussion on a merger or an alliance between the two groups. Frequent meetings between Sharad Pawar and his nephew Ajit Pawar at public and private events have fuelled speculations about the factions reuniting after a split in the party in July 2023. Both NCP and NCP (SP) have chosen Pune, the home turf of the Pawar family, for their Foundation Day festivities. While Sharad Pawar will address his supporters at Bal Gandharva Rang Mandir in Shivajinagar, Ajit Pawar will speak at his party's event at Shree Chhatrapati Shivaji Sports Complex in Balewadi. According to political observers, party workers are expecting clarity and future roadmaps for their respective factions from the top leadership. The NCP was founded on June 10, 1999, after then-Congress leaders Sharad Pawar, P A Sangma and Tariq Anwar raised the issue of party president Sonia Gandhi's foreign origin, leading to their expulsion. While Sangma is no more, Anwar is back in the Congress. The NCP later joined hands with the Congress and formed a coalition government in Maharashtra, where they remained in power for three straight terms (1999-2014). In 2019, the NCP and the Congress joined hands with the united Shiv Sena and formed the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, which collapsed in June 2022. In 2023, Ajit Pawar, then in the opposition, walked away with a majority of NCP legislators, and joined the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena combine and became a deputy chief minister. After the 2024 assembly polls, the BJP-led Mahayuti retained power with a thumping majority, and Ajit Pawar joined the cabinet of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis as his second deputy. With the delayed local body polls likely to be held later this year, much is at stake for the ruling Mahayuti alliance, which received a massive victory in the assembly polls, and the opposition MVA, which suffered a severe drubbing in November last year. In the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the NCP (SP) performed well in Maharashtra, winning eight of the 10 Lok Sabha seats it contested. On the other hand, the ruling coalition partner NCP bagged just one seat. In the assembly polls held six months later, there was a reversal in poll fortunes, with the NCP winning 41 seats and the NCP (SP) just 10 in the 288-member assembly.

Caught in Trump-Musk crossfire: Tesla stock sinks amid feud; $380bn wiped out — among 2025's biggest losses
The unlikely political marriage between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has ended in a fiery public divorce with Tesla's shares paying the price. The fallout began after Musk openly slammed Trump's new tax-and-spending bill on social media. In response, Trump fired back, threatening to cut off government contracts for both Tesla and SpaceX. The political clash added to Tesla's existing troubles, including slowing electric vehicle demand and Musk's controversial ties to far-right groups. As a result, Tesla is now the worst-performing large-cap stock of the year, with its market capitalisation plunging by 29.3% to $917 billion. The company, which ranked eighth globally in market value at the start of 2025, has now slipped to the tenth spot, as per Reuters report. Tesla's shares had initially surged 29% the week Trump won the 2024 election, fueled by investor optimism over a potentially favorable policy environment. However, since November 6, the stock has returned just 2.3%, compared to a 20% gain in the broader market over the same period—indicating growing investor unease. The White House has since stepped in, reportedly arranging a call with Musk to ease tensions. Despite a small rebound in Tesla shares on Friday, the broader damage appears done. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Descubra o valor de qualquer imóvel — basta digitar o endereço! Valor da casa | Anúncios de pesquisa Saiba Mais Undo Meanwhile, Apple has also faced a tough year, falling to the third most valuable company globally. Its $2.99 trillion market cap reflects a 20% drop this year due to slowing demand in China, AI challenges, and renewed trade tensions under the Trump administration. Tesla share price volatile after Trump-Musk feud Tesla shares plunged 14% on Thursday, wiping out over $150 billion in market value—their biggest single-day loss on record—amid a public feud between Elon Musk and U.S. President Donald Trump. The clash followed Musk's sharp criticism of Trump's tax-and-spending bill, which proposes ending the $7,500 EV subsidy by late 2025. The selloff hit broader markets, including Destiny Tech100 Inc., which holds a significant SpaceX stake, falling 13%. Short sellers gained nearly $4 billion from Thursday's crash, the second-largest single-day profit ever, according to Ortex. However, Tesla shares recovered some ground on Friday. At 9:40 am, the stock climbed 5.2% to $299.46, after Musk appeared open to de-escalating tensions, aligning with investor Bill Ackman's call for peace. Reports also suggest White House aides are arranging a call with Musk to cool the rift. The Thursday crash partly erased earlier gains from Tesla's announcement of a driverless "robotaxi" rollout in Austin, Texas. Still, the stock closed the week down 15%, its worst weekly performance since October 2023. Year-to-date, Tesla shares have dropped 22%, making it the worst performer among the "Magnificent Seven" tech stocks, despite remaining the world's most valuable automaker with a market cap of about $1 trillion. Yet its valuation—140 times projected earnings—continues to raise concerns amid growing political risks and regulatory uncertainty. What's gone wrong between Musk & Trump? Elon Musk stepped down from his role in the Trump administration last week after pressure from Tesla shareholders. While the split seemed friendly at first, things quickly turned sour. Since his exit, Musk has openly criticised Trump's key domestic policy—particularly the new tax bill, which he called a "disgusting abomination" on his social media platform, X. He argued that the bill undermines cost-cutting efforts led by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a team Musk was closely involved with. In response, Trump accused Musk of being upset over the bill's removal of electric vehicle (EV) tax incentives and claimed Musk turned against him because their once-friendly relationship no longer served his interests. Trump voiced his displeasure on Truth Social, stating: "The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it!" During an Oval Office address, with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz present, Trump expressed disappointment in their deteriorating relationship. Trump claimed he had asked Musk to leave, citing his decision to remove the EV mandate. "Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!" Musk retaliated on X, claiming credit for Trump's 2024 electoral success and criticising his ingratitude. The exchange grew more hostile when Musk referenced Trump's connection to the Epstein files, concluding with "Have a nice day, DJT!" Elon Musk's other companies like SpaceX and Starlink—leaders in space launches and satellite internet—are now under scrutiny because of his political ties. These businesses often rely on favorable regulatory approvals, helped by Musk's government connections. Musk, who donated $300 million to Trump's campaign, claimed Trump's 2024 win would depend on his support. He later criticized Trump for being ungrateful, backed his impeachment, and warned that Trump's global tariffs could push the economy into a recession. Tesla shares have seen major ups and downs since Musk endorsed Trump last July. The stock jumped on hopes of reduced regulation for robotaxis but later dropped due to weak sales and backlash over Musk's political involvement. What analysts say about the Trump-Musk rift? Some analysts believe the Trump-Musk rift may not last long, as it could hurt both sides. "It's a junior high school fight where these best friends are now becoming frenemies," Dan Ives of Wedbush, a well-known Tesla supporter told Bloomberg. "It's a Twilight Zone situation for all investors, because the last thing investors want to see is Trump go from a huge supporter of Musk and Tesla to a foe," he added. Meanwhile, most Congressional Republicans are backing Trump in the fallout. That's a positive sign for the proposed bill, which could remove a key tax credit of up to $7,500 for buyers of some Tesla and other EV models by the end of this year—seven years earlier than planned. According to JPMorgan, if the bill passes, Tesla could lose about $1.2 billion in profit for the year. According to Paul Stanley of Granite Bay Wealth Management, the public disagreement between Trump and Musk increases Tesla's political and reputational risks. He notes that ongoing controversy could affect investor confidence and market stability. "Given that inherent powers of the office of the presidency, I don't see how this could be anything but negative for Tesla and Musk," he said. What's next for Tesla ? Tesla faces a significant milestone with its robotaxi service launch scheduled for June 12 in Austin, Texas. This development is crucial for Musk's strategy to transform the company's focus towards autonomous vehicles and AI technology. Wedbush's Ives describes the upcoming robotaxi launch as the "start of the autonomous vision and the next chapter of golden growth," whilst acknowledging Tesla as "way oversold." He advises investors to maintain patience. "I still believe that they stay friends and supporters of each other, but this is definitely a little white-knuckle period for Tesla investors," Ives added.
