NCP chief Sharad Pawar announced the appointment of Supriya Sule and Praful Patel as the newly elected working Presidents of the party. During his address at the 25th Party Foundation Day in Delhi, Pawar revealed the names while keeping Ajit Pawar without any assigned responsibilities for now.
Sunil Tatkare has also been given a significant role. Praful Patel will be responsible for Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Jharkhand, while Supriya Sule will oversee Maharashtra, Haryana, and Punjab. Meanwhile, discussions are underway regarding the specific responsibilities to be assigned to Ajit Pawar, as he has not been given any particular role yet.
Addressing the NCP’s 25th foundation day in Delhi, Sharad Pawar criticized the ruling BJP government at the centre. He stated that in many states, the public has shown their disapproval of the BJP by keeping them at a distance. Wherever the BJP came into power, they didn't have it initially. Sharad Pawar also accused the BJP of attempting to gain power by enticing legislators with greed.
While criticizing the BJP, Sharad Pawar stated that this government has failed to fulfil the promises it made. There is widespread opposition to the BJP in several states across the country. Currently, the most pressing need is for people with different ideologies to come together under a common program and move forward.
