Discontent over comments by Sena leaders, CMP discussed
A delegation of the Maharashtra Congress on Saturday met Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and urged him to set up a coordination committee with two leaders from each of the three parties — Shiv Sena, Congress and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) — to ensure implementation of the common minimum programme (CMP) decided while forming the tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. Congress ministers from the State Cabinet held a review meeting chaired by party in-charge H.K. Patil on Friday where from the government’s performance in Maharashtra to sensitive political issues were discussed. Several ministers raised objections to Sena leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut’s comments on making NCP chief Sharad Pawar head of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA). While the party had openly slammed Mr. Raut, ministers at the review meeting demanded that the party’s discontent be conveyed to Mr. Thackeray.More Related News
