Pawar vs Pawar: A Common Backdrop In Both Meets - Sharad Pawar, 83

The face of Sharad Pawar was on the flex behind the stage at both the meetings, one called by his camp and the other by his rebel nephew.

As the country closely watched the separate shows of strength by the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) factions led by Sharad Pawar and nephew Ajit Pawar, one visual was unmissable.

The face of the 83-year-old veteran was on the flex behind the stage at both the meetings, one called by his camp and the other by his rebel nephew.

The camp led by Ajit Pawar, which claims the support of a majority of NCP MLAs, used the Pawar senior's photo despite the veteran's statement forbidding them to do so.

"Those who betrayed my ideology and with whom I have ideological differences cannot use my photograph... Only the party of which I am the national president and Jayant Patil the State president can use my photograph," the NCP patriarch had earlier said.
