Head of NCP Sharad Pawar
The head of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Sharad Pawar, will turn 80 on December 12, 2020. Pawar, a key figure in Indian politics, is one of the few leaders in the country who is known for his sympathy among matches. In his five-decade career, Pawar has never lost an election. In fact, many believe that his speech in the 2019 assembly elections in the rains turned the tide in Maharashtra. He has served in various positions including Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Minister of Defense and Minister of Agriculture at the Center. Pawar became a minister at the age of just 32 and is known for his “never give up” spirit. He even beat cancer, and when the young doctor told him he was only six months old, Pawar cheerfully said that he would outlive him. Pawar, who is also called Janata Raja (king who knows everything) is known as a “capable administrator” and “political mentor” and someone who has made his mark in everything, including sports. Even at this age, Pawar travels through various regions, meets party workers, people on the ground level, surprising everyone with his energy 24 hours a day. The head of NCP has played an important role in the formation of Maha Vikas Aghadi in Maharashtra. Here are some rare and invisible images of the strong man from Maratha. Photo: BCCL
