NCP National General Secretary Sunil Tatkare has been given the responsibility of Odisha, West Bengal, farmers, and minority departments. Sharad Pawar also announced that Nanda Shastri is the Delhi NCP chief.

After the announcement was made, Supriya Sule said she was deeply grateful to the party, adding that she is determined to justify the trust reposed in her by the party.

Sharad Pawar had last month offered to resign from the presidency of the party which was followed by fervent remonstrations from the party members as well as other political leaders.

Pawar had taken back his resignation as the national president as emotional party workers created a hue and cry and protested against his decision.

This comes in the back drop of Sharad Pawar receiving a death threat through Twitter. Following that, Pawar’s daughter and NCP MP Supriya Sule lodged a complaint with Mumbai police commissioner Vivek Phansalkar about the threat and demanded a thorough probe.

It should be noted that the Mumbai Police registered a case against two people in connection with a threat call to Sharad Pawar. Police registered a case under section 153A, 504, 506(2) of IPC, Crime Branch is also investigating the matter.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde has ordered police officers to investigate threats received
