MVA Govt's Birthday Gift to Sharad Pawar: A New Rural Development Scheme Named After Him

News 18  

A new rural development scheme in Maharashtra has been named after NCP president Sharad Pawar, the chief architect of the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi who will turn 80 on December 12. The Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA government, in which the NCP is a key constituent, on Wednesday gave a go-ahead to a proposal to launch the scheme and name it after the former Union agriculture minister. The ‘Sharad Pawar Rural Prosperity Scheme’ has been announced just over a week after the MVA government completed one year in office and three days ahead of the veteran politician’s birthday. Pawar played a key role in formation of the MVA government last year by bringing together the Shiv Sena and its political, ideological rivals Congress and the NCP.
