With Sharad Pawar rescinding his decision to step down from the presidency of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), his nephew Ajit Pawar is finding himself completely isolated politically. When Pawar Sr announced his resignation on Tuesday, there was widespread opposition to the decision from not only the party rank and file but also from senior leaders like Chhagan Bhujbal, Jayant Patil and Jitendra Awhad. Ajit Pawar was the only leader who endorsed his uncle's decision to quit. In fact, when Sharad Pawar's daughter and MP Supriya Sule took a microphone in her hand and was about to speak at the function where her father declared his decision to resign, Ajit Pawar openly humiliated her by asking her to keep mum.

Ajit Pawar hoped to replace Pawar senior

According to political observers, Ajit Pawar hoped to step into his uncle's chappals and lead the party. Sources said Ajit Pawar was planning to not only take over the party organisation but also ally with the ruling BJP so that his long-time ambition to become chief minister is fulfilled.

By first resigning and then reversing his decision, Pawar Sr has put paid to his nephew's gameplan. He has also exposed Ajit Pawar as a leader with no support within the party. Pawar Sr has further consolidated his position and also exposed the political machinations of Ajit Pawar.

Ajit Pawar's absence raise eyebrows

Incidentally, when Sharad Pawar announced his decision on Friday to take back his resignation, all senior leaders of his party were seen flanking him, except Ajit Pawar, which further underscored his isolation.

There are talks that Sharad Pawar has also torpedoed Ajit's Pawar suspected plan to join hands with the BJP along with 40 MLAs. But, then Pawar Sr had fully endorsed Ajit Pawar's decision to join hands with the BJP's Devendra Fadnavis to form the short-lived government in 2019. Apparently, Pawar Sr is not averse to aligning with the BJP, but only on his terms.

Ajit Pawar's 'ED fears'

Ajit Pawar's main worry is that if he did not join hands with the BJP, then the Central government would include his name and that of his wife Sunetra in the chargesheet with regard to the MSC Bank scam. For now, Ajit Pawar has no option except to wait for the Supreme Court's decision on the Shiv Sena MLAs' disqualification case which is likely to be pronounced on May 11.

A man who went on a rampage at a Texas outlet mall on Saturday shot dead eight people before he was himself killed, authorities said.

"(We) found seven deceased individuals on scene. We transported nine individuals to the hospital... Of those we transported, two have since died," said fire chief Jonathan Boyd of Allen, Texas.

The shooting sparked panic at Allen Premium Outlets, a sprawling shopping complex in Allen, 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of Dallas, filled with weekend shoppers.

A police officer was in the mall on an unrelated call when gunfire broke out around 3:30 pm (2030 GMT), said chief Brian Harvey of the Allen police department.

"He heard gunshots, went to the gunshots, engaged the suspect and neutralized the suspect," Harvey said. "He also then called for ambulances."

The identity of the shooter was not released. His body, sprawled on a sidewalk, was one of the seven deaths at the mall when more police arrived.

Among the wounded at area hospitals, "three are in critical surgery, and four are stable," Boyd, the fire chief, said.

Some of the victims were as young as five years old, a hospital official told NBC News.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott called the mass shooting an "unspeakable tragedy."

President Joe Biden "has been briefed on the shooting," a White House official told reporters.

Local officials hailed the actions of the police officer who charged and killed the shooter.

"We owe a debt of gratitude to first responders that ran toward the gunfire and acted swiftly to neutralize the threat," said Keith Self, a Republican congressman whose district includes the city of Allen.

Video footage aired by CNN showed the shooter getting out of a sedan in the parking lot of the mall, and beginning his rampage.

Authorities believed initially that a second shooter might be on the loose. As police combed through stores in the mall, frantic shoppers and store employees rushed into parking lots.

Harvey later said police believe the unidentified shooter, who CNN said was wearing tactical gear, "acted alone."

Janet St. James, a spokesperson for Medical City Healthcare, which operates multiple trauma facilities in North Texas, said it received eight patients from the shooting, ranging in age from five to 61, NBC News reported.

A father who arrived at the mall after his daughter, who was inside, phoned to tell him about the shooting, also told CNN that police had informed him there may have been a second shooter.

"We saw the police outside the door, and they told us we had to go, and that they are still looking for the person," Jaynal Pervez said, according to CNN.

"There's no more safe places. I don't know what to do."

Pervez later told broadcaster CBS that scenes in the mall parking lot were chaotic.

"I saw the shoes around there, people's cell phones on the street," he said.

With more firearms than inhabitants, the United States has the highest rate of gun deaths of any developed country -- 49,000 in 2021, up from 45,000 the year before.

There have been more than 195 mass shootings -- defined as four or more people wounded or killed -- so far this year in the United States, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
