NCP Says Miscommunication Within Cong. Over Sonia's Letter To Uddhav
Citing Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s letter to Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray, the Nationalist Congress Party minister Nawab Malik stated Congress leaders suffered miscommunication. The issue arose when Sonia Gandhi on December 18 wrote to the Maharashtra CM, asking for "legislative backing to utilize the funds allocated for SCs/STs". Malik said that since a Congress member headed the tribal department in the state’s Maha Vikas Aghadi coalition, one should have asked the concerned minister.
