आज सकाळपासून काही टीव्ही चॅनेल्सवर बातमी आहे की मला पक्षात काही पद दिलं जाणार आहे.

Sanjay Raut On Aaditya Thackeray's Working President Reports
Sanjay Raut said that Uddhav Thackeray had also risen to become the party’s working president over time, and if Aaditya Thackeray’s name has now come forward, it should be welcomed.
He added that leadership transitions must be considered carefully, especially when handing responsibility to the younger generation. “The future of politics should belong to the youth,” Raut said.
Dismissing behind-the-scenes comments, he noted that what leaders say privately about Aaditya Thackeray holds little significance. He also praised Aaditya Thackeray and his team for their performance in the Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections.
