BJP leader Sanjay Kute on Wednesday said that since NCP chief Sharad Pawar wants to save the Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra government, he praised the state home department during his media interaction in New Delhi. Kute, a former state minister, made the statement while speaking to reporters here.

"Sharad Pawar wants to save the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government at this moment, which is why he defended the state home department while interacting with reporters yesterday in New Delhi," he said.
