Senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Praful Patel on Friday said he continued to share cordial and family relations with NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar despite their political differences, asserting that there was never any personal bitterness between them.

Patel met the 85-year-old leader at Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital on Thursday night to enquire about his health. He said Pawar was doing well and was in good spirits during their interaction.
