Who can replace Sharad Pawar?

Sharad Pawar’s daughter and MP Supriya Sule and party leader Jayant Patil are also in the race. Party workers are also demanding Sharad Pawar to reconsider his decision. Now in the meeting of NCP leaders being held at Ajit Pawar’s house, an important decision is expected to be agreed upon.
On the other hand, the timing of Sharad Pawar’s resignation is also very important. In fact, the Supreme Court can give its verdict on Uddhav Thackeray’s petition in the next two weeks. The petition has demanded that Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as well as 15 other MLAs be sacked. In such a situation, such discussions are going on in the politics of Maharashtra that Ajit Pawar may forge an alliance with the BJP. This is the reason why there is a lot of discussion in political circles about Sharad Pawar’s sudden resignation. Sharad Pawar’s resignation is also considered a big blow for the Mahavikas Aghadi alliance.
