Tatkare's move assumes significance as he has retained the Raigarh Lok Sabha seat, while the NCP had lost Baramati and Shirur to the Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP), besides Osmanabad to the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT). ).

During his two-day visit, Tatkare will review Ahmednagar City, Ahmednagar South Rural, Kopargaon, Akole and Shrirampur Nevasa assembly constituencies.

Tatkare said the aim of his visit is to further strengthen the party with the sole aim of winning the upcoming assembly elections with better performance.

During his visit, Tatkare will put forward the NCP's stand as the party has already reiterated that it will not compromise with the ideology of Shiv Phule Shahu Ambedkar even if it joins the grand alliance government with BJP and Shiv Sena.

During seat sharing talks with BJP and Shiv Sena, voices are getting louder in NCP regarding their demand for 90 assembly seats.

Party working president Praful Patel and senior ministers Chhagan Bhujbal and Dilip Walse-Patil have also said that NCP should get 90 seats in its quota.
