'Already Has Responsibility Of LoP': Sharad Pawar On Why Nephew Ajit Pawar Didn't Get Any New Post
NCP Chief said that he did not give any additional role to Ajit Pawar in the party reshuffle since he already has the responsibility as Leader of the Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday stated that his decision to select two working presidents of the party was made to guarantee that the NCP's leadership team has enough hands to handle the party's issues across the nation. "The country's status is such that assigning authority for all states to just one person would have been inappropriate. Thinking of this, Praful Patel has been given the responsibility of Rajasthan and Goa, Supriya Sule for Maharashtra, Haryana and Punjab Youth Wing. We are happy that our comrades have taken this responsibility," Pawar told reporters.
