Junnar, 29th March 2024: At the base of Shivneri fort, on the occasion of Shiv Jayanti according to tithi, a notable encounter unfolded between Maha Vikas Aghadi candidate Dr Amol Kolhe and Mahayuti candidate Shivajirao Adhalarao Patil. In a gesture of respect, Kolhe bowed and saluted Adhalarao Patil, emphasizing the cultural significance of honouring elders.

Kolhe remarked, “Adhalarao Patil is old. It is our culture to salute elders.” Adhalarao Patil shared the sentiment, stating, “In Hinduism, it is customary to touch the feet of seniors.”

This encounter comes amidst a significant political development where senior leader Shivajirao Adhalarao Patil of the Shinde group recently joined NCP, led by Ajit Pawar, setting the stage for a showdown in Shirur, with Dr Amol Kolhe. Adhalarao Patil’s strategic move ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections underscores the evolving dynamics in the political landscape.

Despite prior criticism from Dr Amol Kolhe towards Ajit Pawar and Adhalarao Patil’s leadership, this meeting signifies a sense of unity and integrity within the political arena.
