It came as a shock to people when Ajit Pawar rebelled against his uncle Sharad Pawar to join the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis-led Maharashtra government. The former took oath as Deputy Chief Minister, the post he will be sharing with Fadnavis under Chief Minister Shinde.
Now, a heartwarming video of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar has surfaced online wherein he can be seen stopping his car to meet his supporters. In the 1-minute 30-second video clip, the political leader can be seen greeting his supporters waiting to see him outside a restaurant in Asangaon. As the video moves forwards, the supporters can be heard chanting slogans in favour of Pawar and also showered him with flower petals.
The incident happened when Sharad Pawar was on his way to Yeola area of Nashik district.
