Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has said late Rajiv Gandhi was known as ‘Mr. Clean’, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi enjoys the same reputation.
Mr. Pawar, who split the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and joined the BJP-Shiv Sena Government last month, was speaking to reporters in Pune on Tuesday after attending a ceremony where Mr. Modi received the Lokmanya Tilak National Award.
He said the people of Pune welcomed Mr. Modi by standing on both sides of roads when his convoy was passing.
