NCP chief Pawar meets PM Modi

NCP president Sharad Pawar met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday.

The Prime Minister's Office tweeted a picture of their meeting but shared no details about their talks.

The meeting comes two days before Parliament's Monsoon session starts on Monday.

A veteran leader widely recognised for his political acumen, Pawar is the main architect of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra and is seen as a lynchpin for any future opposition alliance against the BJP.

The 80-year-old veteran leader is also known for his warm relations with politicians across party affiliations.
