In a notable political shift, Shiv Sena leader Bharat Gogawale will lead the Republic Day flag-hoisting ceremony in Raigad, stepping into a role previously held by NCP's Aditi Tatkare. The change signifies ongoing tensions between Gogawale and the Tatkare family in this coastal district.

A government resolution authorized Gogawale to unfurl the national flag at the Raigad district headquarters on January 26, emphasizing the political dynamics within the BJP-led Mahayuti government in Maharashtra. Last year, Aditi Tatkare spearheaded the celebrations.

The resolution delineates a comprehensive framework for Republic Day ceremonies, outlining guidelines for flag-hoisting functions, participant protocols, and cultural activities.
