A reporter asked Shinde and Pawar if Fadnavis was going to take oath as CM, would Shinde and Pawar also be sworn in as deputy CMs?
(His (Shinde’s) situation will be clear by evening, I am surely going to take the oath!
The incident was a reflection of the late Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader’s impeccable comic timing and earthy wit, which often kept audiences riveted, cutting through political monotony.
Visibly irritated while reading the note, Pawar took to humour the next moment.
His firm grasp of administrative, political and social issues gave him a sharp, astute vision—and sharp humour, after all, comes from sharp observation.
