NCP Chief Sharad Pawar steps down as President
political circle shake up

It’s a known fact that politics is a dirty game. For the unversed
even Balasaheb Thackeray once resigned as Shiv Sena Pramukh owing to being fed up
by dirty politics and allegations.
This was revealed by Sanjay Raut.

Now news comes to light that Sharad Pawar’s announcement to step down from the post of the president of the Nationalist Congress Party has caught Maharashtra politicians by surprise as Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) MP Sanjay Raut, who is very close to Pawar, compared Pawar with Balasaheb.

Earlier Sanjay Raut had said Sharad Pawar told him that there was a pressure on some individuals in the party to break ranks, adding History seems to have repeated itself… But owing to the love of Shivsainiks he had to withdraw his decision. Sanjay Raut tweeted, Like Balasaheb, Pawar Saheb too is the soul of the State’s politics,” Sanjay Raut tweeted.

A year before the election Infact Sanjay Raut had hinted at a major development in Maharashtra politics. But what he hinted at was a clash inside NCP which might lead to a split in the party. Raut earlier claimed that Pawar told him that there was pressure on individuals to break rank.

This led to speculations that Sharad Pawar’s nephew Ajit Pawar might break away from the NCP to support the BJP.

While the party had laid to rest these speculations Sharad Pawar on Tuesday announced his decision to step down from the post of president. “There was a signal that the bhakri will be rotated…but the pan was rotated,” Sanjay Raut commented after Sharad Pawar’s announcement, instead of Ajit Pawar’s which was expected.

Though the announcement of Sharad Pawar’s resignation has emerged like a bolt from the blue, the development was forshadowed by NCP MP and Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule.

If one recollects, last month, amid intense speculation of Ajit Pawar supporting the BJP, Supriya Sule indicated that there will be two political blasts soon, one in Delhi and another in Maharashtra.
