Mumbai, February 14: Ahead of the upcoming local and civic body elections in Maharashtra, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Friday formed a seven-member core group to focus on strengthening the party organisation, implementing various policies and making government welfare decisions across the state. The core group comprises party national president and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, working president Praful Patel, Sunil Tatkare, former ministers Chhagan Bhujbal and Dillip Walsepatil, Medical Education Minister Hasan Mushrif and Food and Civil Supply Minister Dhananjay Munde.

The Ajit Pawar faction of the Nationalist Congress Party was a faction of the erstwhile united Nationalist Congress Party that was led primarily by Ajit Pawar. Due to several disagreements with the then party president Sharad Pawar, the faction came into existence. The faction got hold of the party name afterwards.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천BMC Elections 2025: Sanjay Raut Rebuffs Talks of Shiv Sena (UBT) Going Solo in Upcoming Civic Polls.

Earlier, NCP's Chhagan Bhujbal expressed support for the Maharashtra government's decision to make Marathi mandatory in government and government-related offices across the state. Speaking in Nashik, Bhujbal highlighted the importance of respecting local languages and drawing comparisons with other states where native languages dominate official and social communication.

"People in Chennai, Telangana, and other states speak their language. If we can learn and speak Hindi, then other people can also learn Marathi. It is a good language," Bhujbal said. He further added, "If we go to any state, then we should try to learn the language of that place."
