NCP presses demand for Finance portfolio, says it was allocated to party when Mahayuti was formed
MUMBAI: The NCP has decided to assert its position and press for the Finance Ministry portfolio for Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP national president Sunetra Pawar chaired a core committee meeting of the party, where it was decided that a delegation comprising senior NCP leaders would meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
The delegation will remind them that the Finance Ministry portfolio was allocated to the NCP when the Mahayuti government was formed and was held by Ajit Pawar. The party will argue that the portfolio should now be returned to the NCP.
