The political drama in Pune took a surprising turn yesterday as seven new MLCs from the Mahayuti alliance were sworn in, causing a ripple effect in the local political landscape. The governor-appointed MLCs from parties like BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP were announced, leaving some key figures feeling left out.
One such figure was Deepak Mankar, the Pune City President of NCP and a close associate of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. Feeling sidelined and overlooked, Mankar made a bold move by resigning from his position, along with 600 other office bearers. This unexpected move has sparked speculation about the future of NCP in the upcoming elections.
During a press conference, Mankar expressed his disappointment at not being given additional responsibilities and being ignored in the MLC nominations. He directly addressed Ajit Pawar, questioning where he went wrong and stating his unwavering dedication to the party.
Mankar also took a dig at Sunil Tatkare, the State President of NCP, for not standing up for him and questioned the appointments of others over himself. This unexpected resignation has caused a stir in Pune’s political circles, setting the stage for an interesting political showdown in the days to come.
