Ahead of NCP Chief Sharad Pawar's rally in Maharashtra's Beed today, banners have been put up by party rebel Ajit Pawar's faction, welcoming senior Pawar and requesting him to "bless" his politically estranged nephew.
NCP banners carrying pictures of both the Pawars have been put up across Beed hours before Sharad Pawar's rally in Parli. This comes against a backdrop of a war of words between the NCP faction led by Sharad Pawar and other parties of the state opposition grouping Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), which also includes the Congress and the Shiv Sena (UBT), over a "secret" meeting that took place between the two Pawars at businessman Atul Chordiya's residence in Pune on August 12.
The MVA leaders demand clarification from Sharad Pawar on what transpired in that meeting, with Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole saying that his party's leaders will deliberate on the meeting at the INDIA alliance's conclave in Mumbai later this month.
