NCP APPOINTS SUNIL TATKARE AS MAHARASHTRA UNIT CHIEF

National Congress Party (NCP) on Wednesday replaced its Maharashtra unit chief  Bhaskar Jadhav months ahead of assembly polls with backward class leader Sunil Tatkare.

Tatkare, state’s water resource minister and a close confidante of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, was appointed the new president of state NCP at its extended working committee meeting, ending a year-long stint of Jadhav, a leader from the influential Maratha community.
