Appointment Leaves Party Leaders Miffed The state government issued the notification on Tuesday, just as the model code of conduct came into effect, granting Chakankar her second term.

However, a number of party leaders in Ajit Pawar-led NCP, including Dipak Mankar and Rupali Thombre-Patil, have expressed their disapproval of the second-term nomination. Mankar questioned why ordinary workers like themselves are not able to benefit from the extraordinary efficiency shown by NCP state unit president Sunil Tatkare in quickly appointing Chakankar. In addition, Thombre voiced her disgust and urged the party to implement a "one post, one person" policy.

Chakankar presently leads the state women's commission and serves as president of the NCP Women's Wing. Earlier, when Chakankar's name was in the news for the MLC post, Patil had previously questioned the party, asking how many posts would be given to a single woman..
