The president of the Nationalist Congress Party and Rajya Sabha MP Sharad Pawar has many accolades and criticism to his name. But what makes the veteran politician different is his prominence throughout India and Maharashtra’s politics. 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)
