Overview
- Parth Pawar, who met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis late Saturday, discussed administrative and political issues, according to the CM.
- Party leaders said at a Saturday press conference that Praful Patel remains working president and Sunil Tatkare remains Maharashtra chief, calling the earlier omission a clerical mistake and promising a fresh letter to the Election Commission.
- The April 29 list sent to the poll body named Sunetra Pawar as president and elevated her sons Parth and Jay, but it did not state Patel’s and Tatkare’s organisational designations, which fueled talk of sidelining.
- Sunetra Pawar and her sons have reached out to Patel and Tatkare and proposed a meeting to settle roles and ease discontent among senior leaders.
- Sharad Pawar’s faction has engaged upset NCP figures, and Rohit Pawar says any reunification would require a clear resolve to oppose the BJP.
