Sharad Pawar meets Khadse at hospital

NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Monday met his party colleague and former Maharashtra minister Eknath Khadse at Bombay Hospital, where the latter is undergoing treatment after suffering a heart attack.

Rohini Khadse, daughter of Eknath Khadse and the president of the women's wing of the Sharad Pawar-led NCP, said her father was first admitted to a hospital in Jalgaon as he was not feeling well for the past three days.

Khadse (71) was later shifted to the private hospital in Mumbai.

Khadse was a senior Maharashtra BJP leader who quit that party and joined the NCP in 2020. He was elected to the state legislative council in 2022.
