On Tuesday, the Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar stated that nothing much happened during his meeting with NCP chief Sharad Pawar in Pune.


"Pawar Saheb (Sharad Pawar) has already clarified. The media is giving different kinds of publicity to a meeting that took place between family members, leading to confusion. There is no reason to think that anything unusual transpired at the meeting," he said.


Last week, Maharashtra political circles were abuzz after a "secret" meeting took place between Sharad Pawar and his nephew Ajit Pawar at a businessman's residence in Pune. When Ajit Pawar was asked about him leaving the premises 'hiding' in a car, he said that he was not there in the car.


"I did not leave surreptitiously. I am someone who roams around openly. There was no reason for me to hide....I was not there in that car," he said.

Ajit Pawar accepted that he met Sharad Pawar last week. "The Pawar family had an association with businessman Atul Chordiya for two generations," he said.

"Chordiya had invited Pawar Saheb for lunch. He was supposed to go there after a program at the Vasantdada Sugar Institute and as Jayant Patil was with him, he also went along. I reached there after completing the Chandni Chowk bridge inauguration," Ajit Pawar said.

In his speech on the occasion of I-Day, Ajit Pawar said the state government is committed to the development of all sections of society including the farmers, women and youth in the state as well as in the district. He was fortunate to get an opportunity to hoist the flag in the historical city which has the legacy of social reformist ruler Shahu Maharaj and Maharani Tarabai, he said.

"India made a lot of progress in the last 76 years and is now among the first five economies in the world," Pawar said.
