Praful Patel directs North-Eastern units to support Congress

The Congress-NCP alliance is now looking to have a strong hold in the North Eastern regions of India. Praful Patel, who looks after the affairs of the party in these regions, directed the state President of Meghalaya to support congress in these regions, in the upcoming elections. The article below tells you more about the Congress-NCP alliance and Praful Patel’s contributions towards it, for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, 2014.

With less than a week to go for the Lok Sabha 2014 polls, the NCP-Congress alliance is now looking forward to cement a strong hold in the north Eastern regions of the country. To ensure the same, NCP Leader Praful Patel, who looks after the political proceedings of his party in these regions also directed the Meghalaya’s NCP unit to support Congress, in the elections. Currently, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), partner in the Congress-led UPA II at the Centre, has extended support to the two Congress candidates from the Shillong and Tura Lok Sabha constituencies. Even NCP Chief Sharad, who would be contesting for the Rajya Sabha elections this year has promised enough support to the congress party, in the elections. Seems after much ado, both the parties have agreed on lending support to each other, for the success of the alliance. The NCP-Congress alliance has been rampant in Maharashtra, for almost 15 years now. Prior to this, the alliance had disagreed upon several things, including seat sharing, election a commissioner, seats in North Goa and South Goa and so on. Probably, NCP’s decision to support its other half in the upcoming elections will do a world of good to the progress of the alliance, in the years to come.

In his letter addressed to the Meghalaya NCP unit president Sanbor Shullai, NCP permanent secretary SR Kohli said Pawar in consultation with Heavy Industries Minister Praful Patel decided not to field any candidate from NCP in Meghalaya for the parliamentary elections and directed the party state unit to support the Congress candidates. The Congress has fielded sitting MP Vincent H Pala for Shillong parliamentary seat and new entrant Daryl William Cheran Momin for Tura. It is indeed a welcome change for the Congress party as its experience in the recent election campaigns, haven’t been worth considering. Probably, Congress can now take heart from the fact that NCP is going all out to support the alliance and that it could make a huge difference, in the way the results turn out to be. On the flipside, NCP has several heavyweight names in its party list. Thus, if the likes of Sharad Pawar and Praful Patel keep extending their support to the Congress party, we might see Congress snatching away another victory in the Lok Sabha polls, from a probable defeat. Prior to the start of the elections, even the members of the NCP left no stone unturned, to support the candidature of Praful Patel, who would be contesting from the constituency of Gondia and Bhandara. These regions might get to witness an exciting contest, amongst Patel, Nana Patole (BJP) and the debutant Prasanth Mishra ( AAP). The trinity might is already grabbing too many eyeballs already, considering Patel’s mammoth victory over Nana Patole, in the 2009 elections.

AIFF President Praful Patel would once again be looking forward to leave an indelible mark, in these elections. In addition, Patel’s contributions towards his constituencies of Gondia and Bhandara in the last five years can be another reason for an emphatic win for Patel, in the upcoming polls. However, we are still in the early days of declaring a clear winner. Only time would tell as to who deserves to be at the helm of affairs, post 16th of May 2014. However, if someone was to seek public opinion in the districts Gondia and Bhandara before the elections, Praful Patel’s name would be the one pronounced in unison.

NCP Leader Praful Patel was also responsible for the initiation of the irrigation projects at Karazkheda, Dhapewada and Bawanthadi. The water supply will now facilitate farmers for their farming and irrigational activities.
