Addressing a BJP conclave in Pune, Amit Shah dubbed Sharad Pawar the "sargana" of corruption who institutionalised corruption in the country.

Addressing the BJP's state convention in Maharashtra's Pune, Amit Shah also slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for displaying arrogance despite loss in the Lok Sabha elections 2024 and called Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray the head of the Aurangzeb fan club who was sitting with people that sought clemency for 1993 Mumbai serial blasts convict Yakub Memon, according to the PTI.

"Sharad Pawar institutionalized corruption," Amit Shah said in Pune, the news agency reported on Sunday.

"Who is the Aurangzeb fan club? Those who serve biryani to (26/11 terror attack convict) Kasab, those who seek clemency for Yakub Memon, those who give (controversial Islamic preacher) Zakir Naik a messenger of peace award and those who support the (banned Islamist outfit) PFI. Uddhav Thackeray should be ashamed of sitting with these people," Amit Shah asserted, as per the PTI.
