BJP MLA Proposes Memorial for Late Dy CM Ajit Pawar
BJP MLA Mahesh Landge wants to build a big memorial for the late Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in the new Pimpri-Chinchwad city hall.
This memorial will have a bronze statue of Pawar and name an auditorium after him.
Landge says Pawar did a lot for the city's development.
Meanwhile, the NCP party is asking the Chief Minister to keep the important jobs that Pawar had.
They are also choosing new leaders because Pawar is no longer with them.
Some people think the NCP might join with another group led by Sharad Pawar.
Pawar had started talking about this before he died.
The NCP wants to make sure everything stays stable and fair for everyone.
BJP MLA Mahesh Landge proposes a grand memorial for late Dy CM Ajit Pawar in the new PCMC administrative building.
The memorial includes a full-sized bronze statue, a named auditorium, and a development concept called 'Pimpri-Chinchwad Ajit Srishti'.
NCP leaders request Chief Minister Fadnavis to retain Ajit Pawar's cabinet portfolios to maintain influence in the coalition.
Sunetra Pawar, Ajit Pawar's wife, is expected to become the new leader of the NCP's legislative party.
Discussions about a potential merger between the NCP and Sharad Pawar's faction are ongoing.
