Politics also started when Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar made MPs Supriya Sule and Praful Patel the working presidents of the party. Where the BJP called it familyism. On the other hand, Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction) MP and spokesperson Sanjay Raut said that along with Supriya, Praful Patel was also made the working president, so that Sharad Pawar could not be branded as family member.
Sanjay Raut said that three days ago NCP President Sharad Pawar made two appointments at the national level in his party. Which is not being embraced by BJP and Shind faction. Raut said that the way changes are made in the organization of other parties, similarly Sharad Pawar made Supriya Sule and Praful Patel the working presidents of the party. He said that Supriya Sule was made the working president also because she is more interested in national level politics, but on the question of making Praful Patel the working president along with Supriya, Sanjay Raut said that Sharad Pawar is actually trying to avoid the allegation of familyism. That’s why he made Supriya as well as Praful Patel as working president.
Such news also came in the media that Ajit Pawar was sidelined by Sharad Pawar. Raut said that I think Ajit Pawar is a big player of Maharashtra politics. He has no intention of moving out of the state. By handing over the responsibility of Maharashtra to Supriya, Sharad has tried to send a message that the next Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in the state will be fought under her supervision.
