Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar on October 24 warned the ruling Eknath Shinde-led government that it would have to pay the price for disregarding the problems facing Maharashtra’s youth.
The 82-year-old Mr. Sharad Pawar, addressing a packed audience at Pune’s Tilak Smarak Mandir, kickstarted his grand-nephew and MLA Rohit Pawar’s Yuva Sangharsh Yatra on the occasion of Dussehra on October 24.
The planned 800-km foot march from Pune to Nagpur is planned as a massive outreach programme to woo youth towards the NCP faction led by Mr. Sharad Pawar following the split within the party engineered by Mr. Sharad Pawar’s mercurial nephew and rebel NCP leader Ajit Pawar.
