Mumbai, Nov. 5 -- The Nationalist Congress Party on Wednesday decided to press for an early completion of the investigation into the death of former party president and deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar at a meeting of the NCP core committee which came amid growing internal differences, party insiders said.

The party plans to take a delegation to meet Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis soon after the Diwali to urge him to expedite the probe by state Crime Investigation Department (CID), NCP insiders said. Wednesday's meeting was held at 'Devigiri', the official residence of the deputy chief minister.

Instead, the meeting focused on steps to expedite the ongoing investigation into Ajit Pawar's death in a plane crash in Baramati on January 28, said a senior NCP leader. "It was decided that a party delegation will meet the chief minister and urge him to expedite the probe into Pawar's death," a senior NCP leader said. The core committee also discussed the need for the party to prepare for a possible legal battle in the Supreme Court over the NCP's name and election symbol, party insiders said.

They also have alleged discriminatory treatment by the Mayayuti partners....
