"Sharad Pawar's Decision to Resign as NCP Chief Reconsidered After 2-3 Days"

Sharad Pawar, the veteran political leader, has agreed to "rethink" his decision of stepping down from the top post of his Nationalist Congress Party, according to his nephew Ajit Pawar. Sharad Pawar had announced his resignation earlier today, citing his advanced age. However, party workers refused to leave the party office if he did not withdraw his decision. Several leaders, including MLA Jayant Patil, broke down. Other MLAs declared that they will quit the assembly.
