Bhujbal attends NCP convention while Munde skips due to health issues

Chhagan Bhujbal, a senior member of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), attended a state convention in Shirdi but expressed ongoing dissatisfaction with his exclusion from the cabinet. He emphasized that his presence did not indicate resolution of his issues. Cabinet minister Dhananjay Munde did not attend the convention, citing ill health amid scrutiny over his alleged connection to a murder case. Most senior NCP members were present, but Munde's absence raised questions. NCP officials attempted to minimize Bhujbal's concerns, stating they would address internal issues. They affirmed his support for the party's alliance with the BJP and expressed commitment to unity within the NCP.
