Mumbai: The results of Maharashtra Assembly elections have come. Mahayuti has got a bumper victory in the state, while Mahavikas Aghadi has faced defeat. The performance of Mahavikas Aghadi has been quite disappointing and it has not been able to secure even 50 seats out of 288. Even the magic of Sharad Pawar, who is called Chanakya of politics, has not worked in this election and out of 86 candidates of his own party, only 10 have got victory. In such a situation, a discussion has started in the politics of Maharashtra whether Sharad Pawar’s magic has ended in the state? There was a time when he was famous in Maharashtra but today only 10 candidates of his party have won the elections.

Sharad Pawar’s political graph is continuously declining

Sharad Pawar was once a big leader of Congress. But NCP was formed in protest against making Sonia Gandhi the President of Congress and Sharad Pawar became its founder. Sharad separated from Congress on June 10, 1999 and formed this party along with some other leaders including PA Sangma and Tariq Anwar.

NCP got the status of a national party in the year 2000, but after 23 years, in the year 2022, Sharad Pawar had to see a day which perhaps he had not even imagined. His party broke in 2022 due to the political ambitions of nephew Ajit Pawar.

Ajit Pawar rebelled and when this matter reached the Supreme Court, on the instructions of the court, the decision came in favor of Ajit Pawar. Ajit Pawar faction was declared the real NCP and they also got the party symbol.

After this, Sharad Pawar’s group got the name Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar). Sharad Pawar lost his control over his own party and now his party has performed poorly in the Maharashtra Assembly elections also.

Heavy defeat in Maharashtra elections also

Sharad Pawar’s party had fielded 86 candidates in the Maharashtra Assembly elections, out of which only 10 got victory. There was a time when Sharad Pawar had a strong support base but the results of this election have pushed the graph of Pawar’s political life downwards.

In such a situation, it seems that on one hand even age is not on his side and on the other hand political equations are also not in his favor. That Sharad Pawar will be so helpless is really shocking for the political pundits of Maharashtra. Sharad Pawar has always been a grassroots leader but the current political pieces are continuously slipping from his hands.
