The president of the Nationalist Congress Party and Rajya Sabha MP Sharad Pawar has many accolades and criticism to his name.

With a political journey spanning over five decades, Sharad Pawar stood ‘victorious’ in many elections – from becoming chief minister of Maharashtra for four times to handling ministerial portfolios in the Union government – his political moves always made it to headlines. This December 12, as he turns 82, here is a look at Pawar’s political journey through some old snaps. (All-photos: Mid-day archives, AFP)
