OPINION At 82, Sharad Pawar Continues To Be The Machiavelli of Indian Politics
ABP NewsAt an age when most of his contemporaries have either retired or have left the world, Sharad Pawar continues to call the shots in Maharashtra and national politics. In 2019, when Maharashtra was witnessing an unprecedented political upheaval, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut famously commented — "One has to take a hundred births to understand the mind of Sharad Pawar.” Looking at the political career of Sharad Pawar, Raut’s statement doesn’t seem to be a hyperbole. The recent undercurrents in Maharashtra politics once again underline that Sharad Pawar continues to be Niccolo Machiavelli of the Indian politics. Although Sharad Pawar facilitated the BJP to form the government, he kept a keen eye on the interpersonal relations between the BJP and the Shiv Sena. Recently, Sanjay Raut, quoting Sharad Pawar in his weekly column in Saamana, wrote that there are attempts to break the NCP, and the BJP is using the central investigative agencies to pressurise the party leaders.
