NCP being removed from Pawar may be likened to Tata being removed from JRD or Ratan, according to Girish Kuber. From from point on, he will hold the title of “chairman emeritus.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In politics, if keeping everyone\u2014friends and foes alike\u2014guessing is an art, Sharad Pawar<\/strong> can easily be described as a maestro. Pawar\u2019s apparent out-of-the-blue announcement to relinquish the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) presidency<\/strong> on Tuesday morning may have left his partymen and competitors rattled and shocked, it\u2019s not at all surprising coming from a man who is known for his skill of killing many birds with one stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pawar<\/strong> was speaking at an event at Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital, the institute he founded in memory of his mentor and Maharashtra\u2019s first chief minister, organised to release his political biography. Addressing the gathering, Pawar in his true slow-motion style, recalled the state\u2019s history from the day it came into being on May 1, 1960. He went down the memory lane chronicling his political journey till the date and towards the end; in his typical, nonchalant way and announced the decision to give up the post of NCP chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was not that only NCP leaders and workers gathered there were caught off guard by Pawar\u2019s announcement, it took a while even for a large number of mediapersons, too, to realise what they witnessed was a \u2018breaking news\u2019. If cricket\u2019s analogy is to be used, Pawar\u2019s move can be dubbed as \u2018googly\u2019 or \u2018doosra\u2019. By this move, Pawar has raised his stature over his wobbly outfit besieged by a number of exits and constant poaching by the BJP. His resignation also creates an invisible wall around him that the opposition will find it difficult to penetrate. Difficult, because he can\u2019t be held responsible for NCP\u2019s misdeeds, if any, anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
