Member of Parliament Pratibha Dhanorkar Alleges Protocol Violation, Demands Privileges Committee Inquiry Chandrapur: Member of Parliament Pratibha Dhanorkar has formally lodged a complaint with the Lok Sabha Speaker, accusing district officials of violating protocol and publicly humiliating her during a government event on Monday. The incident occurred at the official “Rajmata Rani Hirai Jayanti” programme in Chandrapur, where Dhanorkar alleged that administrative officers disregarded the prescribed order of precedence for elected representatives. While she was addressing the gathering, an MLA was abruptly brought onto the stage with elaborate fanfare, disrupting her speech and forcing her to halt proceedings. Dhanorkar described the disruption as a premeditated attempt to embarrass an elected official. She claimed that the district collector and municipal commissioner had acted under pressure from the ruling party, allowing political workers without official positions or invitations to gain prominence. According to her complaint, the event, which was funded by public resources, had effectively become a private gathering favoring a specific political faction. She emphasized that such conduct by administrative officers constitutes a direct affront to the democratic values upheld by Parliament. The MP has requested the Lok Sabha Speaker to refer the matter to the Privileges Committee, demanding a thorough inquiry and strict disciplinary action against officials found guilty of misusing their authority and breaching protocol. Dhanorkar’s allegations highlight tensions between elected representatives and administrative bodies, raising questions about the adherence to formal procedures in public events.#municipal_commissioner #pratibha_dhanorkar #district_collector #lok_sabha_speaker #rajmata_rani_hirai_jayanti
Suresh Dhanorkar: Dhanorkar-Andhare Open Spat Deepens Chandrapur MVA Rift A public clash between Congress MP Pratibha Dhanorkar and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sushma Andhare has intensified the existing tensions within the MVA alliance in Chandrapur, exposing deepening divisions over political strategies and municipal governance. The confrontation, which erupted during a women’s empowerment rally, saw Andhare warn Congress of potential electoral consequences if the Shiv Sena (UBT) is sidelined in the Chandrapur Municipal Corporation. She accused opponents of attempting to block the Sena’s influence, vowing retaliation if their efforts to marginalize the party succeed. “Those who tried to block our path will find their own path blocked,” she said, signaling a readiness to challenge Congress’s dominance in the civic body. The dispute follows a recent shift in the municipal corporation’s power dynamics, where an unexpected alliance between the BJP, Shiv Sena (UBT), and Independents allowed the Sena to secure key positions, including deputy mayor and standing committee chairperson. Andhare defended the move, stating that her party was forced to alter its strategy after failed coordination within the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance. She claimed the decision was necessary to counter alleged defections and horse-trading among corporators, which she argued threatened the Sena’s interests. The remarks were interpreted as a direct jab at Dhanorkar, who was reportedly opposed to allocating critical roles to the UBT faction. This impasse, she claimed, created an opening for the BJP’s tactical intervention. In response, Dhanorkar escalated the conflict, questioning Andhare’s credibility and accusing her of pursuing opportunistic politics.#maha_vikas_aghadi #pratibha_dhanorkar #sushma_andhare #shiv_sena_uba #chandrapur_municipal_corporation
