The Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party on Monday removed its Thane city unit president and former MP Anand Paranjpe from the post.

Senior NCP leader Jitendra Awhad tweeted the information of Paranjpe's sacking along with a photograph of the latter greeting Ajit Pawar, who broke the party on Sunday and joined the Eknath Shinde government.

However, mid-way he shifted to the NCP but lost in the 2019 polls. -- PTI
