I am overwhelmed by the love, trust and faith showered on me. Considering the appeals made by all of you, and honouring the decision of the committee constituted by the party, I am withdrawing my decision to retire,” the veteran politician said.
“I am overwhelmed with the love, trust and faith showered on me. Considering the appeals made by all of you and honouring the decision of the committee constituted by the party, I am withdrawing my decision to retire,” said Pawar amid a thunderous round of applause.
He also stressed that there has to be a “succession plan” for any post or responsibility in an organization.
He will focus on making organizational changes in the party, assigning new responsibilities and creating new leadership, Pawar said.
“I will also work vigorously for the growth of the organisation and take our ideology and goals of the party to the people,” he said.
The NCP supremo’s announcement came hours after the committee rejected his resignation and also appealed to him to continue in the same post, and conveyed it to him on Friday afternoon.
