Shinde along with his deputies Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar, all political rivals of Sharad Pawar, will be attending a job fair, ‘Namo Maharojgar Melava’, in the premises of Vidya Pratishthan college in Baramati town of Pune district.
The surprise invitation to Shinde and the two deputy CMs by Senior Pawar comes in the backdrop of a split in the NCP, a party founded by him in 1999, and strained ties with his nephew Ajit Pawar, who parted ways with him and joined the Shiv Sena-BJP government in July last year.
Moreover, Sharad Pawar is one of the senior most leaders in the INDIA alliance . This Baramati invite is sure to raise eyebrows and set the political buzz running .
