Thane, May 29 (UNI): NCP chief Sharad Pawar has decided to personally look into the party affairs in Thane district with a view to get good results in the forthcoming assembly polls.

Pawar on Tuesday held discussions with a group of local leaders from Thane in Mumbai and gave indication about this.

NCP chief is concerned about the dismal performance of the party in the recent Lok Sabha elections and wants to put the house in order and is likely to take certain firm measures in upcoming weeks.

A meeting of the party leaders has been convened on June 1 in Mumbai where the entire issue will be deliberated and action plan decided.

Meanwhile, a team of local leaders lead by the Party Vice President Pramod Hindurao met Pawar on Tuesday in Mumbai and briefed him about the scene in Thane district and the measures that need to be taken on priority to improve the situation.

Hindurao said that Mr Pawar was really concerned about Thane district which has as many as 18 MLAs considered to be a major chunk and the party will make all efforts to get elected maximum of the MLAs from the district this time.

Presently, there are only four MLAs of the NCP in Thane district and the party wants to add up that in the coming elections and is formulating the measures for the same.
