Nana Patole asks Mallikarjun Kharge to relieve him of state chief post: Sources

India Today  

The Maharashtra Congress president, Nana Patole, wrote to party leaders Mallikarjun Kharge and Sonia Gandhi, seeking to be relieved of his position, sources told India Today TV. The Congress, an ally of the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi bloc, contested 101 seats in the Maharashtra elections but won only 16, marking its lowest tally in the state’s history. The party, which once dominated the region, suffered significant losses, with senior leaders like former minister Balasaheb Thorat and former Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan losing their constituencies. Nana Patole held on to his Sakoli assembly seat in Bhandara district, but his victory came with a narrow margin of 208 votes.
