Union Minister Nitin Gadkari in an interview to NDTV on the Maharashtra election said NCP leader Sharad Pawar is a very respected leader in Maharashtra, who, under his rule, made movies that affected every party. "The NCP under Sharad Pawar as Chief Minister broke up with all parties. But it was quite regular in politics. Whether it was right or wrong was a different matter," Mr Gadkari said. "Everything is fair in love and politics. Sometimes, it favours the public, other times you get only reactions," Mr Gadkari said.
