Not only that, they involved in a candid conversation on stage.

Pawar recognizes “Supreme Leadership” of PM Modi

Sharad Pawar attended the ceremony to present PM Modi with the Lokmanya Tilak Award, honouring his “supreme leadership” and contribution to instilling a feeling of patriotism in the public.

Pawar chose to share the stage with Modi in opposition of demands from opposition INDIA alliance members. The members of the INDIA coalition were worried about how such a move would come across, particularly as they attempted to project a unified front against the BJP. Pawar refused to back down from attending the ceremony despite attempts by certain MPs to convince him otherwise.
