Sharad Pawar recently made a significant announcement. This happened during the NCP’s 25th anniversary celebration. He revealed that his daughter, Supriya Sule, and senior leader Praful Patel have been appointed as the new working presidents of the party. This important announcement took place at the grand Silver Jubilee Anniversary function held in New Delhi, in the presence of esteemed party members, including Ajit Pawar.
As part of his efforts to reorganize the party, Sharad Pawar has introduced several key changes, although his nephew Ajit Pawar has not been assigned any specific responsibilities thus far. Notably, Supriya Sule, who represents Baramati as a Member of Parliament, has been entrusted with the crucial task of overseeing the upcoming state elections in Maharashtra, Punjab, and Haryana.
These developments unfolded following Sharad Pawar’s earlier offer to resign from his position as party president, which sparked widespread objections from party members and political leaders. A dedicated NCP panel was formed to deliberate on his resignation, ultimately rejecting it on May 5 and urging him to continue leading the party.
Sharad Pawar’s strategic decision to appoint Supriya Sule and Praful Patel as working presidents signifies his commitment to strengthening the NCP’s leadership and preparing for the forthcoming state elections. The NCP’s 25th anniversary celebration served as an ideal platform to unveil these significant changes, solidifying the party’s vision and charting a new course under the guidance of its newly appointed working presidents.
