Supriya Sule relieved by Nationalist Congress Party split

Supriya Sule, the National Working President of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), expressed relief over the party's split, stating she could not work with Dhananjay Munde, who has faced serious allegations. She hinted at more resignations within the party. Sule's comments come after Munde's estranged wife was arrested in 2021 for a gun found in her car, an incident Sule referenced indirectly. Munde has aligned with Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar following the NCP split in July 2023. Additionally, NCP Minister Manikrao Kokate has been convicted for document fabrication related to a housing scheme for the poor. A court has issued a stay on his sentence of two years in prison.
