I made a decision, but in light of everything you have said, I will reconsider it. However, I need two to three days, and I won't think about it until the workers have gone home. There have also been other resignations from party positions. These resignations ought to cease, according to Ajit Pawar.

He said that the leaders have recommended that Sharad Pawar continue in office as president and designate a working president to serve under him.

"We informed Sharad Pawar that the employees are dissatisfied. If you were elected president, you would pick a working leader. After hearing what we had to say, Sharad Pawar told us to return here and address the employees seated here, the source continued.

This morning, Mr. Pawar made his resignation known, citing his senior age. At 83 years old, he is.

A new generation needs to steer the party and the course it intends to take. I'm suggesting that a committee made up of NCP members be established to choose who will fill the vacant position of president, he had stated.

Praful Patel, a Rajya Sabha representative for the party, claimed Sharad Pawar did not seek anyone's advice before to announcing his departure.

Shell-shocked party members refused to leave the party headquarters if Mr. Pawar did not reverse his decision as he made it, adding to worries that Ajit Pawar is leaning towards the BJP. Several of the leaders, including Jayant Patil, an MLA, lost it. Some MLAs made it known that they would leave the assembly.

We all were upset over Sharad Pawar's decision today, stopped him for hours, and pleaded with him to reconsider. Sharad Pawar was asked to leave since it was getting late. However, the workers' protest persisted, Ajit Pawar told the media.

Later, he continued, a number of leaders went to Silver Oak to meet him and brief him about what's going on across the state.
