Veteran politician, Sharad Pawar has emerged as the top contender to replace Sonia Gandhi as the next Chairperson of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA). Sources in the Congress Party has given indications that Sonia is likely to retire from the role due to her health.
The UPA came into existence after the BJP fell short of gaining a majority in the 2004 General election. Then the Congress party and other regional parties including the Left, Nationalist Congress Party, and Samajwadi Party among others came together to make the government at the centre.
