Patel denies NCP rift over Sunetra Pawar's election
The Hindu··14 Jul
NCP leader Praful Patel on July 14 dismissed talk of an internal rift, saying a legal notice sent by Sachchidanand Singh challenging Sunetra Pawar's February 26 election carries no weight within the party. Singh's July 9 notice claimed the election was unconstitutional, but Patel insisted the party remains united despite the public challenge to the leadership decision.
