Pawar not to fight Lok Sabha polls
Pune, Mar 11 (PTI) NCP chief Sharad Pawar Monday said
he has decided not to contest the next month's Lok Sabha
election from the Madha constituency in Maharashtra.
The Madha seat is held by his party leader Vijaysingh
Mohite Patil. Pawar's announcement at a press conference came
after recent speculation that he may contest from there.
"There was a lot of insistence (from within NCP) that
I contest from Madha. However, my candidature hasn't been
declared yet," Pawar said.
The NCP chief also indicated that Parth, son of his
nephew and senior party leader Ajit Pawar, may be fielded from
Maval LS constituency in Pune district.
"Many people are asking (me) to field Parth from
Maval," the former Union minister said.
Asked if the fear of possible defeat made him rethink
of contesting from Madha, Pawar said, "I have successfully
faced 14 elections. Do you think a 15th will deter me?" PTI
