Sharad Pawar-Led NCP Abolishes Spokesperson Posts Amid Organisational Reshuffle
Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-SP) has dissolved all existing spokesperson posts as part of a broader organisational overhaul led by Maharashtra NCP president Shashikant Shinde. Former MLC Vidya Chavan and party leader Mahesh Tapase have been appointed interim spokespersons. The reshuffle follows recent appointments in the party's student, youth, and teachers' wings and occurs amid speculation about potential rapprochement with the Ajit Pawar-led NCP faction. Party leaders emphasize the changes are administrative, with spokespersons expressing surprise at the sudden decision.
