Maharashtra Women and Child Development Minister and Congress leader Yashomati Thakur on Monday while praising Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar said that the government's image would have been different if he had been made the Chief Minister of the state.

"If Sharad Pawar were the Chief Minister of Maharashtra today, the image (of the government) would have been different," said Thakur at an event in Amaravati district on Sunday where Sharad Pawar too was present.
