Sharad Pawar Meets PM Modi Along With 2 Pomegranate Farmers From Maharashtra In Parliament

NCP-SCP chief Sharad Pawar, accompanied by pomegranate farmers from Satara and Phaltan, met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Parliament and presented him with pomegranates.

After the meeting, Pawar told the media that no political discussion took place during the meeting.

The meeting comes weeks after the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) was trounced in the assembly elections in Maharashtra by the BJP-led MahaYuti.

Pawar was seen leaving the Parliament after the meeting.

According to reports, Sharad Pawar had written to the Prime Minister, inviting him to inaugurate the 98th Marathi Sahitya Sammelan scheduled to be held at Talkatora Stadium in February next year.

After meeting with PM, Pawar along with farmers met with Vice President and Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar today and presented him with pomegranates.

Sharad Pawar's recent meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi has raised many eyebrows and sparked varied interpretations. This meeting holds particular significance as the government recently introduced the 'One Nation, One Election' Bills in Parliament. While several parties in the INDIA Bloc have opposed these bills, Sharad Pawar's party, the NCP-SP, had called for the bills to be referred to a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) for discussion.

Adding to the political buzz, former Maharashtra chief minister and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, along with his son Aaditya Thackeray, met Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis in Nagpur yesterday.
