Speculation regarding NCP chief Sharad Pawar succeeding Sonia Gandhi as the chairperson of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) refuses to die down even after the former denied the development.
On Saturday, senior Congress leader Sushilkumar Shinde added more fuel to the speculation. While extending birthday wishes to Pawar, who turned 80 on Saturday, Shinde said, “He (Pawar) has seen a lot of ups and downs during the last 50 years, and has worked closely with several people. He has immense experience. If Sharad Pawar becomes UPA chairperson, I’ll like it.”
