The name of Rupali Chakankar, the Maharashtra State President of the NCP Women’s Wing, is making headlines as a potential candidate for the Legislative Council Elections. This has stirred controversy within the party, with NCP leader Rupali Patil Thombare taking to Facebook to express her concerns about the number of opportunities being given to one woman.
In a Facebook post, Thombare questioned Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s commitment to the principle of one person, one post. She urged the party to consider other capable and hardworking women within the NCP for leadership positions. Thombare raised doubts about the legitimacy of the news circulating and emphasized the need for equal opportunities for all deserving women in the party.
Speaking to TV9 Marathi, Thombare raised further questions about the selection process for leadership positions within the NCP. She expressed frustration over the lack of transparency and democratic decision-making in the party.

In response to Thombare’s concerns, Rupali Chakankar dismissed the questions as unworthy of a response. She stated that the party’s spokesperson would address the issues raised by Thombare and emphasized that she was not aware of the details being discussed. Chakankar indicated that a meeting of women office bearers was ongoing, and she would review the questions raised before providing a formal response.
