Mumbai, 26/1: Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration Minister Narhari Zirwal on Sunday drew flak from Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and his BJP cabinet colleague Girish Mahajan for humorously describing Hingoli as a “poor” district.
Zirwal, an NCP legislator from Nashik district and a close associate of party chief Pawar, made the remarks while addressing a gathering in the Hingoli district, of which he is the guardian minister.
