PM Modi, Sharad Pawar's "Candid" Chat On Stage Days After Maharashtra Switch | Read

Sharad Pawar, one of the seniormost leaders of the opposition bloc, shared stage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Maharashtra today, upsetting his allies and several other parties that had urged him to skip the event. Amid acrimony in Delhi between the ruling BJP and the opposition, the two leaders greeted each other warmly on stage at a function in Pune. At the start of the event, PM Modi walked up to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) veteran. As the two leaders had what news agency ANI described as a "candid conversation", Sharad Pawar grinned and patted the Prime Minister.
