Shiv Sena (UBT) mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ took a dig at their Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) ally on Monday saying that even national parties do not appoint two working presidents then why the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) decided the same.
Saamana in its editorial also remarked that the leader of the Opposition Ajit Pawar will have to work hard to earn trust as he had joined hands with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Devendra Fadnavis in the past. Ajit Pawar has been left out in the new NCP hierarchy.
The editorial, titled “Aata Kuthe Bhakari Thapali” said to defuse the allegation of nepotism, NCP chief Sharad Pawar appointed Praful Patel as working president along with his daughter and MP Supriya Sule.

“Sharad Pawar has made the new arrangement with an eye on the future. He has appointed two new working presidents. NCP has recently lost its national party status. Besides some MLAs in Nagaland and Keral and one MP in Lakshadweep, NCP is mainly a Maharashtra-based political party. Even big national parties do not appoint two working presidents then why does NCP need two presidents?” the Sena (UBT) mouthpiece asked.
“Sule will have a say in the selection of Lok Sabha and Assembly candidates and she will work with Ajit Pawar and state party president Jayant Patil. It indicates that along with Ajit Pawar, now Sule will be an authority in the state politics and it is her responsibility to prove herself,” the editorial said.

“It is said (in the political circle) that Ajit Pawar and his supporters have kept a connection with the BJP. It is the result of Ajit Pawar’s decision to join hands with Devendra Fadnavis to form the government in 2019. Though that did not last long, Ajit Pawar is still blamed for that. He will have to work hard to come out of that image. Credibility is at stake in politics. No one can predict which leader will join another party in the evening,” the editorial added.
