A day after ally Shiv Sena (UBT) reacted sharply to the meeting between NCP (SP) patriarch Sharad Pawar and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Wednesday in the latter’s office inside the state Assembly, the Sharad Pawar’s party has stepped in to calm the political storm.
Calling it a “storm in a tea cup”, NCP (SP) MP and Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule played down the meeting and said that too much was being read into it.
“It was just a short courtesy meeting. Nothing more than that,” Sule said on Friday.
