Sharad Pawar Politically Active Again?

The 85-year-old octogenarian politician from Maharashtra is known for his acute political manoeuvring and timing. The leader, who has been spending days at home and prefers to avoid the media regarding family matters, has openly expressed his anguish over his wife, the wife of late Ajit Pawar, for not consulting him before joining the ministry as deputy chief minister, a source says. Sunetra Pawar, wife of Ajit Pawar, has taken the oath as deputy chief minister after being elected leader of the NCP (Ajit Pawar) group, sources say. Sharad Pawar is touring the Baramati constituency, where district board elections are due, a source says. It seems that the senior Pawar wants to show the BJP and others that he is not a spent force, but can still control parties and care for his supporters. He must be fighting his last battle to save the NCP from the clutches of the BJP, a source says.
