Pune, 2024: NCP President Sharad Pawar has officially announced that he will not be walking in the upcoming Ashadhi Wari pilgrimage to Pandharpur. This clarification comes after widespread rumors suggesting his participation on July 7th alongside the pilgrims in Tukobha’s procession.
Sharad Pawar’s Statement
In a press conference in Pune, Pawar addressed the speculation, stating, “The news that I will be walking from Baramati to Sansar with the Wari is false. (Pune News) The procession passes through my village, and I will be there for a day to welcome the pilgrims. However, I will not be walking with the procession.”
India’s T20 Triumph Praised by Pawar
Pawar also lauded the Indian cricket team’s performance in the T20 World Cup, remarking, “There was a time when Australia, England, and South Africa dominated world cricket. Recently, the Indian team has carved out its own niche. Winning the T20 World Cup took time, but the Indian team has achieved a remarkable feat. Initially, the score was concerning, but players like Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav performed exceptionally well under Dravid’s guidance. I wholeheartedly congratulate the Indian team.”
Comments on the Budget
Pawar provided his insights on the state budget, noting, (Sharad Pawar News) “Maharashtra is the second most indebted state in India. If you go shopping without checking your wallet, you can imagine the consequences. The recent Lok Sabha election results have impacted the state’s planning. They’ve made grand announcements, but the reality will soon be clear. We are waiting to see the outcome.”
Sharad Pawar’s remarks shed light on his stance regarding the pilgrimage, the Indian cricket team’s success, and the economic state of Maharashtra, addressing key issues with clarity and foresight.
