Will introspect, learn and rebuild NCP (SP) with renewed commitment: Sule
The Hindu
NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule vows to rebuild party after Maharashtra election defeat, focusing on progress and inclusivity.
NCP (SP) working president Supriya Sule has said her party, which won just 10 seats in the Maharashtra assembly elections, will introspect over the poll results and pledged to work towards a capable, inclusive and progressive state.
In a statement on X, the Baramati Lok Sabha member on Sunday (November 24, 2024) said they respect the people’s mandate. She promised to rebuild the party and said it would move forward with determination despite its dismal show.
The Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) and its Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) allies Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) collectively bagged only 46 of the state’s 288 assembly seats.
“We respect and humbly accept the verdict of the people in the assembly elections. This result is a moment for deep reflection and renewal. We will introspect, learn, and rebuild with honesty, hard work, and an unshakable commitment to the values we stand for,” Ms. Sule wrote.
She stressed that her party was committed to creating a capable, inclusive, and progressive Maharashtra.
“Our vision of a capable, inclusive, and progressive Maharashtra remains unchanged. We reaffirm our pledge to fight for the rights, dignity, and self-respect of farmers, workers, women, youth, and every marginalised section of society,” Ms. Sule stated.
She said her party will continue to carry forward the ideals of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar, and social reformers like Jyotiba Phule.
There is a really big open question about whether Gen-Z is signing up to teach. What I hear from people all over the world is that this is one of our most central challenges. We are working across the Teach For All (TFA) network to recruit people aggressively to commit two years to teach in the communities where they are needed because we have seen that those two years of commitment is transformational for students who are in classrooms and for the teachers themselves because what you do shapes who you are.
