NCP Leader Challenges Appointment of New National Chief Spokesperson by Sunetra Pawar
A dispute has emerged within the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) as Brijmohan Shrivastav challenges party president Sunetra Pawar's appointment of Umesh Patil as national chief spokesperson. Shrivastav cites a 2023 party resolution and the party Constitution, arguing that his prior unanimous election to the role cannot be overridden without proper procedures. The party leadership, including Sunetra Pawar, maintains the authority to make such appointments. The disagreement highlights internal organisational tensions following Ajit Pawar's death.
