A day after industrialist Gautam Adani’s meeting with Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar raised eyebrows, Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole on Friday said his party would have “no objection” even if Mr. Adani “went to live in Mr. Pawar’s home.”
The Congress, the NCP and the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) are in alliance in the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition in the State.
“Mr. Pawar’s party is different. He is not of the Congress party. We have come together [forming the MVA] to defeat the BJP. Who Mr. Pawar meets, what his opinions are, whom he wishes to support is his question… the Congress has nothing to do with it,” Mr. Patole said, remarking drily that his party would have “no reason to object” even if Mr. Adani went to live with Mr. Pawar.
