Ahmedabad, Sep 23 (IANS) Senior Opposition leader and Maratha strongman Sharad Pawar’s meeting with billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani in Ahmedabad is causing ripples in the political circles.
Sources said the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo visited Adani's office and residence in Ahmedabad on Saturday.
Pawar later posted on X: "It was a privilege to inaugurate India's first Lactoferrin Plant Exympower in Vasna, Chacharwadi, Gujarat, along with Mr. Gautam Adani."
Pawar is a prominent member of the Opposition INDIA bloc and his meeting with Adani, who has been targeted repeatedly by the Congress and other Opposition parties with demands of a probe by a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) into the Hindenburg-Adani issue, has raised eyebrows.
Pawar and Adani had held meetings in April and June this year, which had also raised the political temperature.
The first meeting of INDIA coordination committee was held at Pawar's residence in New Delhi earlier this month where several issues were discussed.
The INDIA bloc had announced a 14-member coordination committee featuring prominent Opposition leaders during its third meeting in Mumbai on September 1.
