Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar on November 14 said he does not want to hide his caste and that he has never done politics using it as a medium.
Mr. Pawar’s statement comes days after a purported certificate showing him as belonging to the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category went viral on social media. NCP MP and Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule dismissed the document, calling it as fake.
