Union Agriculture Minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar came out all guns blazing on Saturday, tackling the recent controversy surrounding his nephew Ajit Pawar with aplomb. He took more than a few pot shots at the Opposition as well as the NCP’s political ally, the Congress. Speaking at a meeting in Thane, the only time Pawar sounded guarded was when he was asked about a recent order by the Bombay High Court on releasing water from the Ujani dam.
