Shiv Sena names six city chiefs for Nagpur assembly segments, Sumukh Mishra gets added charge

The Shiv Sena, led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, has carried out a major reshuffle to strengthen its organisation in Nagpur. The party has appointed six city chiefs and given them charge of different assembly constituencies in the city. The information emerged from Nagpur on November 11.

The office-bearers appointed are Sumukh Mishra, Ravinish Pandey, Raju Tumsare, Sunil Banerjee, Vishal Kodke and Vikas Ambhore. All of them have been given organisational work in different assembly constituencies.

Under the appointments, Sumukh Mishra has been given additional charge of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis's South-West Nagpur assembly constituency. Mishra is already the Shiv Sena's Nagpur city coordinator. His role is therefore seen as important in building better communication and coordination with BJP leaders in South-West Nagpur.

At a meeting held at Ravi Bhavan, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam discussed the party's upcoming organisational plans. Minister of State Ashish Jaiswal and Vidarbha organisation chief Kiran Pande were also present.

On Wednesday, Sanjay Nirupam and Kiran Pande, the Shiv Sena contact chief for the Nagpur Lok Sabha constituency, handed appointment letters to the new office-bearers.

The party aims to expand the organisation at the grassroots by bringing together young and experienced leaders, and to build better coordination at the local level. In the next phase, appointments will also be made at the shakha and ward levels. The Shiv Sena's organisation expansion campaign is expected to continue until January 2027.
