Nationalist Congress Party Sharadchandra Pawar group on Tuesday (August 4, 2026) night dissolved the panel of all 22 State spokespersons of the party. The national spokespersons have not been affected though. “The decision has been taken by the State president of the party and is applicable only to the State spokespersons. This does not apply to the national spokespersons,” a leader told The Hindu on Wednesday (August 5, 2026). “As the State president, I work in close coordination with Sharad Pawar, Supriya Sule and Jayant Patil,” he said.
