NCP to lodge no confidence motion against council chairman

NCP to file no confidence motion against the chairman for his failure to declare Dhananjay Munde as the opposition leader in state council.

The state NCP chief Sunil Tatkare on Thursday said they have decided to bring a no confidence motion against chairman of the state legislative council following his failure to declare Dhananjay Munde as the opposition leader in state council.

The NCP has written a letter to the presiding officer in state legislature council expressing lack of confidence in the present chairman of the council. The NCP leaders said, “We have already given
the name of Dhananjay Munde as opposition leader in council. Why is chairman not accepting?”

The Congress has withheld the decision in council, as it wants NCP to first give consent to their senior leader Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil consent as opposition leader in state legislature assembly. However, NCP has refused arguing they want Ajit Pawar as opposition leader in assembly as well.
