Sharad Pawar withdraws his resignation as NCP chief: ‘Will work for uniting opposition’

NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Friday, while addressing reporters, announced his decision to take back his resignation of party chief post. Pawar said he has taken back his resignation since party workers were not happy with his decision.
“Because of my decision, there was an intense reaction among NCP workers. There was a great deal of uneasiness among partymen with my party workers and well-wishers urging me to reconsider. I cannot disrespect your feelings. The affection and faith shown in me has overwhelmed me. Respecting the committee’s decision, I take back my resignation,” the veteran politician said.
“After reconsideration of everything, I announce that I will continue as the president of the party. I take back my previous decision,” Pawar told reporters.
This comes shortly after Nationalist Congress Party’s key committee on Friday unanimously rejected Sharad Pawar’s resignation. The key panel held a meeting at their party office in Ballard Pier in Mumbai.
Though I am continuing, there has to be succession plan: Sharad Pawar
The veteran politician’s absolute control over the party was reinforced by a three-day spectacle, marked by a dramatic resignation and an equally dramatic reversal. The event was further fueled by rumors of Ajit Pawar’s involvement with the ruling BJP, while his absence during Mr. Pawar’s announcement about “organizational changes” was noteworthy.
The sudden resignation had sparked intense speculation about the succession of his position, with many speculating that his daughter Supriya Sule would take over, leaving the question of Ajit Pawar’s role unanswered.
“Even though I am continuing in the post of president, I am of the clear opinion that there has to be a succession plan for any post or responsibility in the organisation. In future, I will focus on making organizational changes in the party, assigning new responsibilities, creating new leadership. I will also work vigorously for the growth of organisation and take our ideology and goals of the party to the people,” Pawar said.
Rahul Gandhi, Sitaram Yechury asked me to continue: Pawar
He expressed his readiness to resume his role in uniting the opposition, which has been divided in various directions against the BJP, for the 2024 elections.
“It is very important to unite all the political parties. From Rahul Gandhi to CPIM’s Sitaram Yechury, everyone called and asked me to continue,” he said.
NCP workers celebrate after Pawar withdraws resignation
At the launch of his memoir in Mumbai, Mr. Pawar’s surprise announcement led many to speculate that he was trying to preempt Ajit Pawar’s reported attempts to create a rift within the party and lure members to the BJP.
Following Tuesday’s events, during which NCP workers had made dramatic pleas for Mr. Pawar to rescind his resignation, there were displays of fireworks and celebrations among party members.

A new police station should be established in Govandi Shivaji Nagar. Maharashtra SP leader Abu Asim Azmi demands from Police Commissioner Devin Bharti

abu aasim aazmi
Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi has demanded the establishment of a new police station in Shivaji Nagar constituency from Mumbai Police Commissioner Devin Bharti. He said that the old police station has been shifted to Mahada, which makes it very difficult to reach the police station from the SMS company area and it takes half an hour to an hour. In such a situation, a new police station should be established in Shivaji Nagar constituency. There has been an increase in drug abuse, crimes and other incidents in Shivaji Nagar and Govindi areas, along with an increase in the population here. It is necessary to establish a police station in proportion to the population, while the presence of police stations and personnel is not there in proportion to the population. He said that Police Commissioner Devin Bharti has said that after the recruitment of police, the police station will be established and manpower will be deployed in the police stations. Along with this, Abu Asim Azmi has also accused the local administration of irregularities in the distribution of funds along with the establishment of the police station. He said that now the corporation and The BMC election has not been held, there are Samajwadi Party corporators here but they are not being provided funds, but whoever joins the Shinde group is provided funds, this is complete injustice and therefore the funds should be distributed equally. He said that the government has no concern with the slum areas, the police presence will remain in Walkashore, Malabar Hill and Cuffe Parade, but there is no police presence in the slum areas and there is a shortage of them, that is why the bat chowki that we have built with our own funds in Govindi is also empty, there is no police personnel in it.
