‘I play kabaddi, not chess’: Chhagan Bhujbal hits out at NCP after Rajya Sabha snub, raises dynasty question | Mumbai News

Chhagan Bhujbal, a senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and Maharashtra minister, criticized the party for not nominating him to the Rajya Sabha despite his longstanding service. Bhujbal expressed disappointment over being bypassed for the seat, stating that he deserved fair treatment like other prominent families within the party who have received influential positions. He argued that he should be treated similarly, given his contributions and role in the party's founding. Despite this, Sunil Tatkare, the NCP state president, and the party leadership rejected his proposal for a political swap involving his nephew, Sameer Bhujba, as a minister in exchange for his nomination to the Rajya Sabha.
