Pravin Kunte too in race for the post of City NCP President By Vikas Vaidya : Party may announce the name today The curiosity over name of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Nagpur city chief has reached its peak. Till three days ago after the resignation of Anil Ahirkar as city chief of the Party two names were doing rounds viz Duneshwar Pethe the only Corporator strongly representing party and Prashant Pawar. But today the development got a twist as suddenly the name of Pravin Kunte Patil the State Spokesperson of the Party got prominence in the race of city chief post. Kunte has left for Mumbai. According to highly placed sources Party High Command has called Kunte at Mumbai. If the information disclosed by sources is considered as correct then this development assumes lot of importance because Kunte is a close confidant of State Party Chief Jayant Patil. NCP is celebrating its 22nd foundation day on June 10. Party would likely to hold a meeting. Obviously every senior office-bearer is supposed to reach Mumbai to attend meeting so Kunte is not an exception. Only question is why the High Command asked him to reach a day earlier. The name would likely to be declared on Wednesday a day earlier of Foundation Day. Kunte has the experience of steering the party as Executive Chief earlier when Ajay Patil the then President of city unit had left. Kunte is a full-timer in the Nationalist Congress Party and so he is more dedicated too. He is considered as the studious politician the kind of leaders NCP has been producing. He has handled the responsibility of Vidarbha chief of the Party and was at the forefront during Rashtravadi Pariwar Samvad Yatra taken out by Jayant Patil. NCP will not be leaving any stone unturned while selecting the Chief as it wants to spread its wings in this part of State and the Party is very much serious about it. It has already brought firebrand leader Abha Pandey in appointed her as State General Secretary and made its intentions clear. The Party has handled Anil Deshmukh episode very sensitively and proper respect was given to him despite the fact that his name got involved in Sachin Waze case. Party stood in full support of Deshmukh as new Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil during his Nagpur visit not only met him but stayed with him for full two hours. It means opinion of Deshmukh too would be respected. When asked Pravin Kunte Patil said “Whatever responsibility I get from the Party I am ready to take.” Ultimately opinion of Praful Patel and Anil Deshmukh too would be taken. Names of Prashant Pawar and Duneshwar Pethe are doing rounds but Pethe has upper hand over Pawar. Pethe is lone Corporator and is considered as peoples leader. He has led several agitations in city against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC). Like Kunte Pethe too has friends in all sectors. He is dynamic leader of the party. He has no animosity with anybody. There can not be two opinions among party leaders on Pethes name. According to Party insiders though opinions of Party leaders like Praful Patel and Deshmukh would be respected it all will depend on Party Supremo Sharad Pawar and Jayant Patil. Because Pawar doesnt want any nonsense and no local leader connection. He wants a leader who would steer party and fetch at least 15 to 20 seats in municipal elections to begin with.
