‘Some people joined other ideologies’

Sharad Pawar said, "The party faced some challenges but you kept taking the party forward without getting discouraged. There was a division in the party.

He said that a different picture will emerge in the upcoming elections.

"If we stay united, power will come automatically"

Big statement regarding municipal elections

Sharad Pawar said that municipal elections are going to be held in two to three months, so the party leadership will talk to NCP (SP) representatives in every district and decide whether to contest the elections independently or in alliance. He said, "We have to work on this and think about how to give opportunities to the youth and also see how we can field women in municipal and local body elections, as 50 percent reservation is fixed for them.

'The party will create history by bringing in new leadership'
