Addressing the NCP (SP)'s Extended Working Committee meeting, Pawar stressed strengthening the organisation and focusing on regions where it can bring about a change in the election-bound states such as Bihar and Kerala.
Expressing concern over the economy, particularly the farm sector under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Pawar urged party leaders to engage with the public and strengthen the organisation for future challenges.
According to PTI, the NCP (SP) faced its worst-ever performance in the Maharashtra Assembly Elections, securing only 10 out of the 86 seats it contested as part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance with Shiv Sena-UBT and Congress.
This was the first extended working committee meeting of the NCP (SP) after the Maharashtra Assembly Elections.
Several leaders at the meeting alleged that the opposition's voice was being stifled in legislative bodies and raised concerns over the increasing instances of hate speech in Maharashtra.
They also discussed the challenges posed by the impending delimitation of parliamentary and assembly constituencies.
Senior NCP-SP leader Jitendra Awhad accused the BJP of turning Maharashtra into a laboratory for communal politics, calling it a matter of great concern.
