After a full-blown political drama over his resignation from the post of party chief on May 1, 2023, Pawar clarified that he would soon delegate his work to distance himself from the daily party routine.

NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday said he did not give any new responsibility to his nephew Ajit Pawar in the reshuffle inside the party ranks as he already has the responsibility as the Leader of the Opposition of the Maharashtra Assembly. His statement came after Sharad Pawar earlier in the day announced Supriya Sule and Praful Patel as working presidents of the Nationalist Congress Party. Pawar made the announcement at the 25th anniversary of the party, founded by him and P A Sangma in 1999. The announcement was made in the presence of Ajit Pawar, a key player in NCP. Pawar had last month offered to resign from the presidency of the party which was followed by fervent remonstrations from the party members as well as other political leaders. While the power division is regarded as excluding Ajit Pawar, who joined the BJP in 2019, Sharad Pawar said that Ajit Pawar already has the responsibility as Leader of the Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly. When asked if Ajit Pawar was pleased with the decision, Sharad Pawar said Ajit was one of the decision-makers. An NCP panel formed to deliberate on Pawar's offer had on May 5 rejected his resignation and urged him to continue as the party president. Apart from the big role, Sule will also be the chairperson of NCP’s central election authority and the in-charge of Maharashtra, Haryana Punjab as well as the party’s women, youth and students wings.

So, where is the question of him being happy or unhappy,” Pawar told reporters here to questions on the Maharashtra Leader of Opposition being upset about Sule’s elevation. Mira Road murder case: Steel spoons, pressure cooker with flesh among items recovered from crime scene The veteran leader announced earlier in the day three-term Lok Sabha member Sule and Praful Patel will be the working presidents of the NCP. Ajit Pawar was seen as an heir-apparent in the NCP, but his dalliances with the “There is no vacancy now. We can talk about it when there is a vacancy,” Pawar quipped when asked if Patel or Sule could become NCP chief in the future. Sule was also appointed the chairperson of the party’s Central Election Authority as well as the in-charge of Maharashtra, the only state where the NCP has a formidable electoral presence, ushering in a generational shift in the party. The BJP was quick to take a dig at the announcement made by the NCP chief. “If only Sharad Pawar loved his nephew as much as Pawar also said elevating Patel and Sule was a “conscious” decision taken by the entire party.

As the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition in Maharashtra faces fresh possible trouble from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) end, the man at the heart of it is again Ajit Pawar – the nephew in the shadow of the big uncle. On Tuesday, Ajit denied talk of him leaving the NCP, splitting the NCP, or parting ways with the MVA as “rumours”. However, given Sharad Pawar’s deft realpolitik and nephew Ajit’s own reputation of vacillation – with or without Pawar Senior’s blessings – few believe this story is over. Also in Political Pulse | Through his various brushes with controversy, what has kept Ajit going is the support he enjoys among NCP MLAs. In November 2010, for example, when the alleged Adarsh scam hit the Maharashtra government and the Congress-NCP decided to change the names at the top, the NCP sidelined senior leader Chhagan Bhujbal as Deputy CM to bring in Ajit after an overwhelming majority of NCP MLAs supported him – marking the first of his four tenures as Maharashtra Deputy CM. The son of Sharad Pawar’s elder brother Anantrao, Ajit first rose in politics like the rest of the family through the cooperative sector. He was a constant by his uncle’s side starting 1991-92, and rose in prominence after Pawar broke away from the Congress to form the NCP. In 1999, Ajit became a Cabinet minister in a Congress-NCP government. He subsequently went on to helm heavyweight ministries including Irrigation, Rural Development, Water Resources and Finance, which raised his clout, p...
