NB In List | 'Strong Maratha leader', Sharad Pawar resigns from NCP chief post, but for whom? Daughter or ???

In a shocking development, Sharad Pawar on Tuesday announced that he is resigning from the post of the National President of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). Pawar, who is the founder of NCP, began his career as a member of the Indian National Congress and has held several key positions in the government.

 

 

“I have three years tenure remaining in Rajya Sabha. I will not contest elections henceforth,” the NCP chief. This was just a few days after the Pawar hinted at a major shuffle in the party. Earlier, amidst the rumbling in the NCP, Pawar while speaking media, senior Pawar said, "Bhakri must be flipped, otherwise it will burn. Therefore, it is time to flip it. We cannot delay it anymore."

 

It should be noted that the decision comes amid Ajit Pawar’s political ambitions that have caused a rift between him and Sharad Pawar, even as uncertainty looms over whether the latter would pass his political legacy and baton of the party to him, or his daughter Supriya Sule, a parliamentarian from Baramati.

 

Interestingly, soon as when Pawar announced his decision, Ajit accepted Pawar's decision to step down and asked the party workers not to be emotional and respect his decision.
