Hey Pune! Big news from the Indian National Congress in your city – there’s some serious drama brewing. A group of former office bearers are demanding a change in leadership, specifically calling for the replacement of the current City President, Arvind Shinde.
According to these former office bearers, including heavyweights like Ramesh Bagwe and Datta Bahirat, the only way for Congress to secure successful candidates in the upcoming Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections is by getting rid of Shinde. They’ve taken their demands straight to the top, meeting with the General Secretary of the Indian National Congress, KC Venugopal, in Mumbai.
These office bearers are not mincing words – they’re claiming that Congress suffered a defeat in the Pune Lok Sabha elections due to Shinde’s leadership. They believe that despite having all the resources to win, Shinde failed to effectively utilize them, leading to a lack of campaign planning that hurt the Congress candidate.
Their solution? Replace Shinde with former corporator Chandu Kadam as the new Pune City President of Congress. This demand has been brewing for a while now, but with the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections on the horizon, tensions within the Pune Congress are expected to escalate.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as the factionalism within the Pune Congress continues to unfold.
