Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar has dissolved all the departments and cells of the party with immediate effect. A late night statement issued by NCP's General Secretary Praful Patel said that the departments and cells of the party have been dissolved with the approval of the NCP chief. Reports indicate that Pawar is looking to reorganise the structure of his party following the collapse of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in the state. Mr Pawar was instrumental in the formation of the MVA, which comprised of Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP. 

With the approval of our National President Hon'ble Shri Sharad Pawar Saheb, all the National level Departments and Cells of @NCPspeaks excluding Nationalist Women's Congress, Nationalist Youth Congress and Nationalist Students Congress stand dissolved with immediate effect.

On Tuesday, former Maharashtra minister Ramdas Kadam had alleged that the NCP chief is trying to  break the Shiv Sena and he has given a proof of this to Sena president Uddhav Thackeray. The NCP was a key constituent of the Shiv Sena-led coalition government which fell apart in late June following a rebellion against Uddhav Thackeray by a section of Shiv Sena MLAs led by Eknath Shinde.
