Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar has withdrawn his decision to quit as party chief after NCP’s committee passed a resolution rejecting his resignation and requested him to continue to lead the party that he founded.

I can’t disrespect your sentiments. Due to your love, I am respecting the demand that was made to me to withdraw my resignation and the resolution that was passed by senior NCP leaders. I withdraw my decision to step down as the national president of Nationalist Congress Party,” said Pawar.

“After my 63 years of public life, I felt I was relieved from my post, but after this, there was a strong reaction from the workers of NCP, the public living with me along with numerous workers and office bearers, expressed sadness over this decision and urged me to reconsider,” he added further.

“Rohit Chintak, my workers who love me, innumerable well-wishers, all of them unanimously called me, my party colleagues from all over the country and especially from Maharashtra and others urged me to take over the responsibility of the post of president again,” said Pawar further.

Asked about Ajit Pawar’s absence at Friday’s press briefing, Sharad Pawar told reporters, ”Not all people can be at all places,” and asked the media not to read too much in his nephew’s absence.

Pawar said his daughter and MP Supriya Sule declined to a suggestion by party leaders to become NCP working president.
