Parties await leadership change in city units Sena, NCP, MNS and Congress city units wait for new city chiefs

PUNE: The town units of political events, together with the Congress, NCP, Shiv Sena and the MNS, are all set to get new heads as state leaders are going all out to revive their respective events after the humiliating defeat in the civic polls.

Shiv Sena town unit leader Vinayak Nimhan and Nationalist Congress Party town leader MP Vandana Chavan had resigned from their respective posts as a result of deficient efficiency in their events. However, their birthday celebration leaders are yet to take choice on their resignations.

Sena MP Sanjay Raut has given a clear indication that Nimhan's resignation would be permitted and that the birthday celebration would get a brand new town leader. Raut, who used to be in the town on Tuesday, held a closed door assembly with senior birthday celebration leaders to talk about who must be the brand new Sena town leader.

"I will be with the party, but I don't want to continue as city chief as I have personal responsibilities to fulfil," Nimhan mentioned.

Sources in NCP mentioned Ajit Pawar held talks with birthday celebration corporators and one in every of Ajit's supporters would possibly take over as NCP's town leader. "The issue is sensitive as the party is divided over Chavan's resignation," mentioned a senior NCP leader.

Voices against Congress town leader Ramesh Bagwe are increasing and a bit of town leaders has written to Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee president Ashok Chavan asking him to exchange Bagwe. Senior birthday celebration corporator Aba Bagul mentioned, "The party will be wiped off in Pune if there is no change in the city unit". However, Bagwe claimed that there were no differences in the birthday celebration.

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena leader Raj Thackeray has asked its leader in Pune to dance back into action. Thackeray's close aide Anil Shidore mentioned the birthday celebration leader used to be taking pastime in Pune's problems as he used to be considering its development. However, former corporators are insisting that Thackeray will have to substitute Ajay Shinde as town unit leader.
