Rahul Gandhi Holds Talks with Supriya Sule on Sharad Pawar’s Resignation as NCP Chief

New Delhi (India), May 4, 2023: Indian politician and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar’s shock resignation has sent ripples across the country’s political landscape. In the wake of the announcement, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi reportedly spoke with Lok Sabha member Supriya Sule, Pawar’s daughter, to discuss the situation.

At an event on Tuesday, Pawar named a committee to select his successor, leaving NCP leaders and workers stunned. Many party members were seen crying and pleading with Pawar to reverse his decision. Despite appeals from senior party leaders and supporters, including the suggestion of his own niece Supriya Sule as a potential successor, Pawar has not changed his mind.

Meanwhile, Pawar’s nephew Ajit Pawar has indicated that his uncle will take a few days to “think over” his decision. The NCP veteran has continued to meet with people including party functionaries, sticking to his daily routine. There are rumors that Supriya Sule could be chosen as the new national president, while Ajit Pawar may take up the position of Maharashtra unit chief.

The political implications of Pawar’s resignation and potential succession are unclear at this time, but it is sure to have a significant impact on the NCP and the broader political landscape of India.
