In a relief to his followers, NCP (SP) supremo Sharad Pawar walked out of Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital on Thursday, following a short stint for health check-ups. Admitted Tuesday amid discomfort, the 83-year-old leader received thorough evaluations before being sent home with rest instructions.
Rumors had fueled anxiety across political circles, but quick updates from insiders quelled fears. Rohit Pawar, NCP legislator and relative, shared on X that countless calls poured in from concerned workers. ‘Pawar Saheb’s health is excellent; he’s discharged and relaxing at home,’ he assured, adding they discussed pending tasks recently.
Jitendra Awhad, another NCP (SP) heavyweight, reinforced the positive news via social media. ‘Sharadchandra Pawar Saheb is stable, now resting at home after discharge,’ he wrote, calling for prayers to hasten his full recovery and re-entry into Maharashtra’s dynamic political arena.
Pawar himself had voiced disappointment earlier, speaking to Baramati folks from the hospital. A consistent voter there since 1967, he planned to cast his ballot personally but was grounded by sudden illness. Doctors’ firm no-travel advice prioritized his well-being over electoral duties.
This episode highlights Pawar’s resilience amid a career spanning decades. With elections looming, his rest period is keenly watched, as allies hope for his robust comeback to steer the party’s fortunes in Maharashtra.
