The end of Sharad Pawar or the beginning of another Pawar play?

The political landscape in Maharashtra has been marked by uncertainty and turmoil in recent years, with leaders and parties constantly shifting alliances. The BJP’s failed attempt to form a government with its opponent, the NCP, followed by the emergence of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, and now Ajit Pawar’s return to the Shinde-Fadnavis government have left NCP leader Sharad Pawar vulnerable. Despite these challenges, Pawar, a crafty and experienced politician, should not be underestimated as he has a history of making strategic moves and could still revive his party.
