The frequent meetings between NCP chief Sharad Pawar and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar are tarnishing the image of senior Pawar, the Shiv Sena (UBT) claimed .
It is “amusing” to see Ajit Pawar is frequently meeting (his uncle) Sharad Pawar and the latter is also not avoiding it, an editorial in the Sena (UBT) mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ said.
“There is a hunch that BJP’s ‘Chanakya’ is trying to create some confusion by sending Ajit to meet senior Pawar. However, such meetings tarnish the image of Sharad Pawar and it is not good,” it said.
Reacting to the secret meeting Sharad Pawar said it was no secret meeting. “What is wrong with meeting my nephew? If a senior person in a family desires to meet another family member, there should not be any issue with that” Elaborating further , Sharad Pawar said. “He is my nephew and I am the senior-most member of the family,” Pawar said in Solapur.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut told ANI , “…There was a discussion about the rumours being spread after Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar’s meeting. These rumours are concerning. We will talk about it to Sharad Pawar…”
