"Not A Major Change": Devendra Fadnavis On Supriya Sule's Elevation

Speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Devendra Fadnavis said the development had hardly changed anything in the Sharad Pawar-led party.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday termed as an "eyewash" the recent change in Nationalist Congress Party's hierarchy wherein Supriya Sule and Praful Patel were made working presidents.

Speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Devendra Fadnavis said the development had hardly changed anything in the Sharad Pawar-led party.

When asked whether Supriya Sule's elevation as working president amounts to a significant change in the party's hierarchy, Devendra Fadnavis said, "Though it is their internal matter. I do not think it is a major change in that party. It has hardly changed anything. It's an eyewash".

NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday declared his daughter Supriya Sule and former Union minister Praful Patel as working presidents of the party, marking a generational shift in the organisation.
