Sharad Pawar Delivers Speech Amid Rains, Memories Of 2019 Address Return

On October 18, 2019, three days before the Maharashtra assembly polls, Mr Pawar was in Satara to campaign for an NCP candidate for Lok Sabha bypolls.
NCP founder Sharad Pawar defied rains to deliver a speech on Sunday, bringing back memories of his pivotal address in October 2019 which is said to have changed the fortunes of his party in the last Maharashtra assembly elections. In the evening, Mr Pawar attended a party event in Navi Mumbai, which had been receiving rains since the morning. As he started to speak, light showers followed.
However, the veteran politician, who will turn 83 next month, wasn't deterred.
“Our plans here have been disrupted by the rains today. But we are the people who won't surrender so easily or backtrack. We need to continue our struggle in future as well,” he said amid the rains, apparently referring to his nephew Ajit Pawar's aggressive plans to take control of the party.
