Decoding the Pawar plan

As Mr Pawar has shown time and again, it is futile to speculate on his plans, and only time will clarify his motives. For now, the grand old man of Indian politics appears to have one last ace up his sleeve. (HT PHOTO)

Sharad Pawar resigns, then rethinks

In the last few weeks the NCP has been beset with internal strife and speculation that some MLAs were deserting the party along with a restive Ajit Pawar to align with the BJP in Maharashtra. On Tuesday, Ajit Pawar was the only prominent leader who supported Pawar’s decision to step down even as others entreated him not to do so. “If he is not the president, it does not mean he is not in the party. He is looking to create new leadership... The new party chief will work under saheb’s leadership”, said Ajit Pawar who had last week taken a dig at Sharad Pawar’s advancing years to say that some leader step away when they get old.)
