"He used to come to me with the problems of the agriculture sector and even took me to Gujarat. Once he wanted to visit Israel so I took him there also. Whatever Narendra Modi says now I am not concerned," said Mr Pawar.
A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed Sharad Pawar over farmers' plight, the Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief said today that when he was the Union Minister (2004-2014), he had helped the then Gujarat Chief Minister - now the Prime Minister - a lot for the agricultural crisis in his state.
Sharad Pawar was the Union Agriculture Minister from 2004 to 2014.
He said that on one occasion, the then Gujarat chief minister once called him and said he wanted to visit Israel to study the unique farming techniques there.
