New Delhi: Sharad Pawar has been re-elected as the President of the National Congress Party for four years on Saturday. The information was shared by the chief spokesperson of NCP, Mahesh Bharat Tapase.

Reacting to the development a Twitter user wrote, ”Exactly like Gandhi’s elect Gandhi’s only! Momata elect Momata, Karunanidhi elect Karunanidhi only !! Entire commicongi hallmarks and trademarks are descendants generations upon generations exception of Pawar which will yield only after he will vacate the chair naturally.”

”Very unfair with Supriya Sule, she needs to step up and take a stand for herself, she should come out this party now and should make a new political party along with Shashi Tharoor ! Enough is enough, Supriya Sule zindabad !,” wrote another user.

A user shared the meme.

Notably, Pawar has been holding the office since the year 1999 when he founded the party with P.A. Sangma and Tariq Anwar. They decided to found the party after splitting from Indian National Congress. At present, the General Secretary of the party is Sunil Tatkare and Praful Patel.

From NCP, Ajit Pawar is the current leader of the Opposition in the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly. In Maharashtra, the BJP came to power at the end of June this year after a Rebel group of Shiv Sena led by CM Eknath Shinde left the party.

Owing to defection in the Shiv Sena, the NCP has now become the second largest party in the assembly with 53 MLAs, followed by the INC.
