'Supriya Is Ready Now': Sharad Pawar Aide Says PM Modi Phoned 'Saheb'
Conversation fuels speculation about political equations in Maharashtra, including possible reunification of NCP factions and Supriya Sule's entry into the Modi cabinet
Pune: Prime Minister Narendra Modi engaged in a warm phone call with Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar on Wednesday, inquiring about the veteran leader's health and urging him to take a complete rest. Modi informed Pawar that his daughter, Baramati MP Supriya Sule, was prepared to handle the country while he took time off to recuperate.
Pawar had recently been discharged from Pune's Ruby Hall Clinic after a brief stay for medical observation, where he was admitted due to a cough and pleuritic pain. The conversation between the two leaders, described as affectionate and respectful by Pawar's aide Vitthal Maniyar, highlighted the concern for Pawar's well-being and the trust placed in Supriya Sule to lead during Pawar's absence.
