Nagpur: Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) spokesperson Sanjay Dubey said allegations being made by BJP leaders regarding Nitin Raut’s absence from the city are misleading. Addressing the media in Nagpur, Dubey said Raut has been given responsibility as a poll campaigner by the Congress high command.
Dubey said, “He is simply fulfilling his responsibilities towards the party, without ignoring his duty towards Nagpur. He is constantly in touch with local officials in Nagpur and even keeps chief minister Uddhav Thackeray updated with the developments.”
Others Congress party members who were present during the media interaction included Suresh Jagyasi, KK Pande, Naruji Jichkar, Ratnakar Jaipurkar, Suresh Patil, Haribhau Kirpane, Mulchand Mehr, Phillips Jaiswal, Deepak Khobragade, Sahebrao Sirsath, Thakur Jagyashi, Vijayalakshmi Hazare and Rekhatai Lanjewar.
