My Fight Against Communal Forces, Says Sharad Pawar After Nephew's Rebellion

Day after a huge political embarrassment because of his nephew's shock rebellion, Nationalist Congress Party patriarch Sharad Pawar put up a show of strength while paying tribute to his mentor and Maharashtra's first Chief Minister Yashwantrao Chavan at his memorial in Satara district's Karad on the occasion of Guru Purnima. In an emotionally charged address to supporters, he said the BJP was trying to "destroy" all Opposition parties, and vowed to rebuild the NCP.
