maharashtra deputy chief minister ajit pawar met nationalist congress party (NCP) chief sharad pawar here on
friday, sparking speculation in the political circles of the state. Sharad Pawar’s daughter and ncp Lok Sabha
member supriya sule said that this meeting was not political. This is the second meeting between uncle and
nephew after the Ajit Pawar-led group joined the Eknath Shinde-led government in maharashtra in July. The
hour-long meeting on friday was held at the house of Prataprao Pawar, 83-year-old Sharad Pawar’s brother and
owner of Sakal media Group.
Sule said that Pratap Pawar’s wife is unwell and Pawar family members had gathered at his house on friday in
this regard. Due to his illness, it will not be possible for the entire family to attend the Pawar family’s Diwali
celebrations, he said. Our political ideologies are different, yet we maintain our personal relations, Sule said. .
There is a difference between professional and personal life. Every year, members of the Pawar family gather in
Baramati for diwali celebrations. However, this year my aunt is unwell, so we planned to go to her residence.”
What did the leader of ajit pawar group say?
NCP's ajit pawar faction leader Ankush Kakde said that doctors have advised ajit pawar, who is recovering from
dengue, to take complete rest and asked him to stay away from large gatherings to avoid infection. Ajit Pawar
faction leader and state cooperation minister Dilip Walse Patil also met sharad pawar in pune on Friday. He said
there was nothing political in his meeting with the ncp founder. The minister later told reporters, “It was a
scheduled meeting to discuss the issues of Rayat Shikshan Sansthan headed by sharad pawar Sahab.”
