Sharad Pawar quells sparks in MVA post Marathi convention

The Hindu  

NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Monday quelled the sparks flying within the Maha Vikas Aghadi since the last few days, first over the felicitation of Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and then after the controversial statements against Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray from the platform of the All India Marathi Literature Convention. And it wasn’t very controversial,” Mr. Pawar, who played the chairperson of the reception committee of the literary convention, said, in contrast to the criticism levelled by Sena leader Sanjay Raut about the politicisation of the platform. But Mr. Pawar supported Mr. Raut on his comments against Shiv Sena leader Nilam Gorhe, who had criticised Mr. Thackeray from the platform. “If he finds me responsible for it because I was the chairperson of the reception committee, I won’t oppose it,” the NCP chief said, responding to Mr. Raut’s criticism that Mr. Pawar should take responsibility for it.
