The Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) group will move the Supreme Court against the Election Commission's ruling which recognised the Ajit Pawar faction as the real NCP, senior leader Jayant Patil said, reported the PTI.

"We will approach the Supreme Court as it is our last hope. It is our innocent expectation that the SC will stay the decision of the ECI. We have to stand firm behind Sharad Pawar. The party workers need not worry," said Jayant Patil, who heads the state unit of NCP (Sharad Pawar) camp, according to the PTI.
