Mumbai : After handing over the responsibility of state president to former Odisha minister Bhakt Charan Das, the Congress has decided the new chief of Maharashtra. The party has accepted the resignation given by Nana Patole after the disappointing performance in the assembly elections. If sources are to be believed, the party can announce the name of the new president in the next few days. Harshvardhan Sapkal, who comes from Buldhana, is considered to be the successor of Nana Patole. If Harshvardhan becomes the new state president of the party, then this post will remain with the leader of Vidarbha. Harshvardhan comes from the western Vidarbha region. He is considered close to Rahul Gandhi.

Harshvardhan Sapkal’s political career has started from the grassroots level, from Zila Parishad member to MLA. He was the Zila Parishad President from 1999 to 2002. At that time he was known as the youngest president of Maharashtra. He was also a Congress MLA between 2014 and 2019. Since the state presidents are being appointed in the backdrop of the upcoming local body elections, the new president will have a big challenge to win these elections. Harshvardhan Sapkal is currently the National President of the Rajiv Gandhi Panchayati Raj Organization of the Congress. He played an important role in the creation of Gram Swarajya based on the ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi and Vinoba Bhave. Sapkal has experience in organizing nation building youth camps based on Sarvodaya ideas, active participation in village cleanliness campaigns and Adarsh ​​Gram Movement.

He was an MLA from Buldhana between 2014 and 2019. During this period, he implemented a water conservation management project in the constituency. Vijay Wadettiwar’s name was also included in the race for the state president, but it is believed that the party high command has approved the name of Harshvardhan Sapkal, who is close to Rahul Gandhi. Sapkal’s name may be announced soon. Harsh- vardhan Sapkal is currently 57 years old. He has studied till graduation. After the state president of Maharashtra, Mumbai can also get a new president. Currently, Varsha Gaikwad is in charge there. She has become an MP from an MLA. On the other hand, his sister Jyoti Gaikwad has won from his MLA seat.
