Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) on Monday said the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar might have appointed Praful Patel as working president along with his (Pawar's) daughter Supriya Sule to blunt probable allegations of “dynastic politics”.

The editorial published in the party mouthpiece Saamana also termed the elevation of Sule, a Lok Sabha member, and Patel as working presidents of the Nationalist Congress Party a balancing act by Pawar between senior and new leaders.
