Sharad Pawar is back, again; his NCP faction looks at highest strike rate in Maharashtra
Left with a handful of leaders and legislators, his nephew usurping his party name and symbol, veteran politician Sharad Pawar was down last year. Eleven months later, the 83-year-old has bounced back. With his party, NCP (SP) — Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) — leading in eight of the 10 Lok Sabha seats it contested in Maharashtra, Pawar has displayed his resolve to take up challenges and seems to have given a new lease of life to his party by hitting the highest strike rate as per the initial counting trends.
