Praniti Shinde was born in a Congress family and is well-versed with the party and has also proved herself as a legislator. She will make a difference by guiding us,” said city Congress chief Arvind Shinde.
The executive committee of the Maharashtra Congress will hold a meeting on June 13 in Mumbai where the party will discuss the recently held review of 41 Lok Sabha seats in the state and also about the way forward with regard to Pune.
On Saturday, Pawar said that the seat, which was vacated after the death of BJP’s Girish Bapat, should be contested by the party which performed well in the previous civic and Assembly elections, but stopped short of directly laying claim to it.
It is the Congress which has traditionally contested the Pune Lok Sabha seat and Ajit Pawar’s remark is unlikely to go down well with the NCP’s Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance partner.
