My Political Journey — A Journey of Commitment, Loyalty & Responsibility My name is Shakil Ahmed Shaikh. Since 2010, I have been serving as a dedicated worker of the Nationalist Congress Party, working continuously to strengthen the party and take its mission forward. Over the years, I have actively participated in numerous party movements, campaigns, programmes and organisational activities, always giving my best to strengthen the party at the grassroots level. I have always believed in and worked to carry forward the ideology and vision of Hon. Sharad Pawar Saheb. I have proudly served as a true soldier of Pawar Saheb, with honesty, loyalty and dedication — and I will continue to do so in the years ahead. Since 2011, I have been serving as Vice President of the Minority Department, working for the welfare and representation of the minority community and strengthening the organisation. Today, being entrusted with the responsibility of Working President of the Minority Department is not merely a position for me — it is a great responsibility and a reflection of the trust placed in me by the party leadership. I sincerely thank the party leadership for giving me this opportunity. I assure everyone that I will continue to work with even greater dedication, honesty and determination to strengthen the organisation, expand the party at the grassroots level and raise the voice of the minority community. A position is not the destination — it is a new responsibility. My loyalty to the party was, is, and will always remain unwavering.
