The much-awaited comeback of Sharad Pawar to the Lok Sabha electoral fray, has been nipped in the bud, by the Nationalist Congress Party boss himself. If sources close to him are to be believed, then Pawar has shelved the plan of contesting polls from Madha which he had represented a decade ago, because of unrest among the supporters of sitting MP Vijaysinh Mohite Patil.

As he pulled out of the contest, Pawar declared that his grandson, Parth, would be NCP's candidate from Maval, because the party workers and alliance partners wanted him there. Later he said that the party workers demanded he contest but the party has not announced his candidature from Madha yet.
