Maharashtra civil supplies minister and senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Chhagan Bhujbal is known in state political circles as a firebrand who often speaks his mind. Bhujbal seems to be again keeping his party and the Mahayuti coalition guessing, this time over the Maratha quota issue as well as the Rajya Sabha nomination for party chief Ajit Pawar’s wife Suntera.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s wife Sunetra Pawar was named as the party’s nominee for the Rajya Sabha bypoll on Thursday.

The BJP had initially opposed his candidature and sought to give the seat to the Ajit Pawar-led NCP.

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Chhagan Bhujbal has officially acknowledged the receipt of a death threat letter. Confirming the unsettling communication on Saturday, Bhujbal shared that threats and attacks had occurred earlier too.
