There are discussion in the political circles that NCP chief Sharad Pawar is likely to be appointed as the Chairperson of UPA. Pawar will be celebrating his 80th birthday on December 12.
In this, our Pawar Saheb is the pride of Maharashtra. No one can touch him or compete with him in the field of politics. Whatever happens will be according to Pawar's wishes, said Navneet Kaur Rana, indepent MP from Amravati.
Over the past few days speculations have intensified over the NCP chief's taking over the leadership of the opposition UPA alliance from Congress president Sonia Gandhi.
However Mr Pawar's has denied all these reoprts and his NCP party has put out a clarification and said such talk was floated as a diversion from the massive farmer protests near Delhi.
