A month after announcing he would contest the Lok Sabha election, Sharad Pawar did an unexpected volte face on Monday. He said he was dropping out in favour of nephew Ajit Pawar’s 28-year-old son Parth, who will contest from Maval. “The moot question is how many members of a single family should contest? We considered pros and cons and it was decided that I will not contest,” said Pawar in Pune. Later, CM Devendra Fadnavis described it as an indication of which way the poll wind is blowing.
