Hey there, Punekars! If you’ve been wondering what’s been going on with the appointment of Governor-nominated MLCs, we’ve got the scoop for you. The Mahayuti Government finally sent in seven names to the governor just before the assembly elections’ code of conduct was announced. And guess what? The governor gave the green light, and all seven members were sworn in by Deputy Speaker Neelam Gorhe on Tuesday.
Now, let’s talk about the appointees. We’ve got Hemant Patil and Manisha Kayande from the Shiv Sena-Eknath Shinde Group, Pankaj Bhujbal and Idris Ilyas Naikwadi from the NCP-Ajit Pawar Group, Mahant Babusingh Maharaj, Vikrant Patil, and Chitra Wagh from the BJP. They’ll be serving in the Legislative Council, representing different parties and interests.
But hold on, there’s some drama stirring up within the NCP-Ajit Pawar Group. Deepak Mankar, the group’s Pune city president, was left out of the MLC appointments, causing quite a stir among party members. A meeting was called to address the issue, where members indirectly criticized the selection of Pankaj Bhujbal and Rupali Chakankar, hinting at nepotism within the party.
In a bold move, 600 key party members resigned from their positions, expressing their disappointment and frustration with the leadership handovers within the party. They’ve vowed to continue their work as grassroots party workers and plan to meet with Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar to voice their concerns.
So, Punekars, stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding political saga. It looks like things are heating up in the world of Maharashtra politics!
