Nagpur: Disciplinary Committee of Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) has issued show cause notice to Narendra Jichkar, State General Secretary, for his alleged misbehaviour in City Committee meeting in Nagpur. The Committee has also asked him to file his reply within 7 days.
On Thursday, October 12, 2023, MPCC President Nana Patole had convened a meeting of Congress committees of Nagpur Division. During the Nagpur City Congress Committee meeting, violent scuffles broke out between rival groups of MLA Vikas Thakre and Narendra Jichkar.
