The incident happened when the NCP chief and State Ministers went to the Shree Shivchhatrapati Sports Complex to attend a review meeting.
The ruling tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra faced criticism from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which accused State Ministers as well as Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar of using a sports track at Pune’s Shree Shivchhatrapati Sports Complex for parking their cars during a review meeting on Sunday. After Pune BJP MLA Siddharth Shirole posted images taken from a vernacular news report of the MVA leaders parking their vehicles on the track, the incident drew flak from other BJP leaders, including Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Kiren Rijiju. Mr. Pawar, a former president of the Indian Olympics Association (IOA), had visited the sports complex at Balewadi along with Maharashtra Sports and Youth Affairs Minister Sunil Kedar and Minister of State Aditi Tatkare to review a project.More Related News
