According to reports in the media, NCP (SP) Maharashtra unit chief Jayant Patil has resigned from the post & party MLC Shashikant Shinde will take over from him.
Since taking over as party chief, Patil has built a strong following.There's competition between him and Ajit Pawar, although it's never broken out into open conflict, say analysts.
Jayant Patil was speaking after party meeting at Sharad Pawar’s house in Delhi, held to discuss former Mumbai Police commissioner’s charges against NCP member Anil Deshmukh.
Maharashtra BJP spokesman Avdhut Wagh sought to link Patil's criticism of PM Modi over the nationwide lockdown to the steep number of COVID-19 cases in his constituency.
One such website has drawn particular scrutiny for spreading fake stories that have upset not only the Indian but also foreign defence firms by falsely attributing misinformation.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
