Sharad Pawar meets PM Modi

Thursday, 19 December 2024 | Pioneer News Service | New Delhi

NCP-SP chief Sharad Pawar met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday, weeks after the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) was trounced in the assembly elections in Maharashtra by the BJP-led Mahayuti.

Pawar met the prime minister in his office in Parliament House along with two farmers from Phaltan in western Maharashtra and presented him with a box of pomegranates from their farm.

Pawar had recently written to the prime minister, inviting him to inaugurate the 98th Marathi Sahitya Sammelan scheduled to be held at Talkatora Stadium in the national capital in February.

"I did not broach the topic of Sahitya Sammelan," Pawar said after the meeting with the prime minister.

In a social media post, the Prime Minister's Office said Sharad Pawar, along with a group of farmers, met the Prime Minister  on Wednesday.  It also posted pictures of the NCP-SP chief presenting pomegranates to PM Modi.

In the Maharashtra assembly elections last month, the Congress-NCP(SP)-Shiv Sena(UBT) alliance -- MVA -- faced a humiliating defeat at the hands of BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP's Mahatuti alliance.
