NCP (SCP) President Sharad Pawar's praise for Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde for his work during his tenure as Maharashtra's Chief Minister has fueled speculations of a wider rift in the Maha Vikas Aghadi(MVA) coalition.kabibe game

The fresh political tension surfaced as Pawar on Tuesday felicitated Shinde with the award 'Mahadji Shinde Rashtra Gaurav Puraskar', on the occasion of the 98th All India Marathi Literary Conference. Pawar in his address also praised Shinde's inclusive approach to governance and development. He expressed happiness that someone from his home district of Satara had become the Chief Minister.

This was not the first time when Sharad Pawar showered praise on his opponents beyond the political sphere. Last month, Pawar credited the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for the BJP's landslide victory in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly polls.

Japan also began their campaign with a 5-5 draw against Korea but has since struggled to secure a win. They lost their second game 5-1 to India and followed that with a 2-1 defeat against Pakistan.

Shiv Sena (UBT) Not Happy With Pawar's Gesture

The veteran politician's remarks were not accepted in good spirits by Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray. The Shiv Sena (UBT) chief reportedly was unhappy with Pawar's gesture.

As per a report by India Today, besides Thackeray, Sena (UBT) spokesperson Sanjay Raut also criticised the move, saying felicitating Eknath Shinde was like honouring Home Minister Amit Shah, as Shinde split the Shiv Sena with his help.

"Certain things should be avoided in politics. Yesterday, Sharad Pawar did not felicitate Shinde, but he felicitated Amit Shah. This is our feeling," news agency PTI quoted Raut as saying. "We don't understand your Delhi politics, but we too understand politics", India Today reported quoting Raut.

Responding to Raut's remarks, Sharad Pawar's party MP Amol Kolhe reportedly said he could be voicing his personal opinion and that politics should not be brought into everything. “He (Sharad Pawar) showed statesmanship, where one does not bring politics into everything. I don't think there is anything wrong with that. He is the president of the event (reception committee),” Kolhe said.

Shinde Returns Praises For Pawar

Echoing similar respect and praise for the veteran politician, Eknath Shinde also said that one had to learn from Pawar how to maintain good relations with leaders beyond the political spectrum.

He recalled that Pawar was the son-in-law of Sadashiv Shinde, a spin bowler who was known for his googly. Using a cricket analogy, Shinde hoped Pawar "won't bowl him a googly in the future".

"Pawar also bowls googly deliveries that are tough to decipher. I have good relations with Pawarkabibe game, but he has not bowled me a googly. I am confident that he will not bowl me a googly in the future either," he said.
