It has been nearly a month since Sharad Pawar stunned his party workers with an announcement of his resignation as Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) national president, during the launch of a revised edition of his Marathi autobiography, Lok Maze Sangati (People are my companions) in Mumbai. PREMIUM What did Pawar, 82, achieve by announcing his resignation and later withdrawing it?(HT PHOTO) Three days of hectic parlays with the rank and file of the party as well as other leaders, Pawar announced on May 5 that he would continue as party chief, as per the wishes of his party workers as well as the unanimous decision of a committee appointed by him to find his successor. NCP’s allies heaved a sigh of relief; ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders wondered whether the entire drama was orchestrated. What did Pawar, 82, achieve by announcing his resignation and later withdrawing it? As NCP prepares to celebrate its 24th Foundation Day on June 10, let’s decode the inveterate politician’s move. A tighter gripLike most regional parties in India, the NCP has been a unipolar party right from its formation in June 1999. It revolved around Pawar's charisma. Over time – coinciding with the BJP assuming power in Maharashtra — there was an impression that Pawar’s grip on his party was loosening as his nephew Ajit began to handle most of its routine affairs. In 2019, however, Pawar’s power was in no doubt as he tackled Ajit's rebellion and helped put together an unlikely alliance of h...

NCP gets new working presidents: Sharad Pawar today appointed Supriya Sule and Praful Patel as new working presidents of the Nationalist Congress Party. Sharad Pawar made the announcement at the 25th anniversary of the party, founded by him and PA Sangma in 1999. Ajit Pawar, a key player in the NCP, was also present at the event. After her appointment, she tweeted, "I am grateful to NCP President Hon. Pawar Saheb and all the Senior Leaders, party colleagues, party workers and well wishers of @NCPSpeaks for bestowing this huge responsibility of Working President along with Hon. @praful_patel Bhai. To my fellow members of the party, because of whom we have come this far, I will work diligently along with all of you to further strengthen the NCP and we collectively will serve the nation for the larger good of our fellow citizens." “I can't disrespect your sentiments. Due to your love, I am respecting the demand that was made to me to withdraw my resignation and the resolution that was passed by senior NCP leaders. I withdraw my decision to step down as the national president of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)," Pawar had said.

NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Tuesday Supporters of NCP chief Sharad Pawar protest against his announcement to step down as the national president of NCP, in Mumbai on Tuesday. (Photo by Bhushan Koyande/ Hindustan Times) Pawar, who helmed the party since its inception in 1999, said in his address, "I have three years left of Rajya Sabha membership in Parliament, during which I will focus on issues related to Maharashtra and India, with a caveat of not taking any responsibility. After a long period of public life from May 1, 1960, to May 1, 2023, it is necessary to take a step back. Hence, I have decided to step down as President of the Nationalist Congress Party". Pawar said it was time for a new generation to guide the party and the direction it intends to take. He recommended the formation of a committee, including former Union minister Praful Patel, former Maharashtra deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar, and Member of Parliament Supriya Sule, to decide on the election of his successor. “This committee will decide on the [NCP] president’s selection. It will continue to strive for the growth of the party organisation, to take the ideology and goals of the party to the people, and to serve the people, as they deem fit.” • Sharad Pawar is a competent leader. I think that due to age constraints and because of his health he thought to relinquish the present job. He has already selected his successor, and there are several leaders in NCP who are eligible to inherit his legacy but he ...

Sharad Pawar is one of India's powerful regional politicians, perennially on the cusp of becoming prime minister. The closest he got - and perhaps ever will - was following Rajiv Gandhi's assassination, when Narasimha Rao got the job. When he first became a state minister, way back in 1966, Pawar's only connection to cricket was a tenuous one - his father-in-law, Sadu Shinde, was a Test legspinner, who toured England in 1946. But over the years Pawar's involvement with the game and its administration deepened. In 2001 he defeated Ajit Wadekar, the former India Test captain, in a fractious election to take over the reins of the Mumbai Cricket Association. Right away he was to demonstrate what he was capable of. He buried the hatchet with his just-defeated rival, solved outstanding problems on a war footing, and drew up ambitious plans for the expansion of Mumbai cricket far beyond the confines of the city. With his stunning victory over Jagmohan Dalmiya's nominee Ranbir Singh Mahendra at the 76th AGM of the board, Pawar took over the country's cricket administration. Balancing his responsibilities as the union agriculture minister with his interest in cricket administration, he rose through the ranks in the international set-up before taking over as the ICC president in 2010.
