Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) mouthpiece Saamana, in an editorial, on Thursday delved deep into Sharad Pawar's announcement of resignation from the president post of the Nationalist Congress Party and said that he came prepared with the speech that he said announcing his exit -- which is unusual and also proves it was a decision, thought through.

After Sharad Pawar's announcement, the NCP leaders were stirred, but many of them already have one foot in the BJP ship, the editorial claimed adding that Sharad Pawar might have decided to exit the president post of the party with dignity at a time when his party is splitting like this. "Jayant Patil rightly said to Pawar that 'you are the party'. The NCP today is standing in the name of Sharad Pawar," the editorial said.

On the future of the party, the editorial deliberated that Supriya Sule has worked great as an MP and has her grasp in New Delhi. "Ajit Pawar's only aim, on the other hand, is to become the chief minister," the editorial noted.
