MLA Rohit Pawar has written a letter to NCP Chief Sharad Pawar on the occasion of his 80th birthday. Rohit Pawar has made a special request to his grandfather Sharad Pawar. "You have a lot of experience. I often meet young people for my work, so I know their expectations. Today, this young class needs to learn from your vast experience. Whether it is through an article or a book or through a program to interact with the youth, I request you, as their representative I urge you to give it to them, "said Rohit Pawar in a letter. The letter contains many stories from political, social and personal life, as well as many memories.
He took to Twitter to share the letter and wrote,"Respected Saheb, on your birthday, sharing a letter given to you in the morning. It’s my humble attempt to pen down my thoughts."
Pawar, who was born on December 12, 1940, in Maharashtra's Baramati, has a political career spanning over 50 years. In 1967, he was elected a member of Maharashtra Legislative Assembly from Baramati constituency on a Congress ticket and has been in public service since then.
However, in 1999, he broke ties with Congress to form the Nationalist Congress Party. He had also served as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and held several key ministerial portfolios at the Centre.
At present, the NCP chief is a member of the Rajya Sabha. He has also been credited for stitching the alliance between three parties -- Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP after 2019 Maharashtra Assembly elections to form the government in the state.
