He drew parallels between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s reign as the ‘janata raja’ and NCP’s commitment to serving the people, promising to uphold the ruler’s principles in leading the party.
Acknowledging the recent challenges faced by the party, Pawar highlighted the importance of unity and perseverance in achieving a people-centric governance. The symbolic ‘Tutari’, representing auspicious occasions and historic significance, serves as a beacon of hope and unity for the NCP (SP) under Pawar’s leadership.
The event marks a significant moment for the NCP (SP) as they embrace the ‘Trumpeter’ symbol, showcasing a new phase for the party under Pawar’s guidance.
