"This was the right place but you took too long to come," he said.

Shah, who also holds the Cooperation portfolio, is in Pune as part of a 2-day visit, was speaking at an event organised to launch the digital portal of the Central Registrar of Cooperative Societies office in Pune.

Ajit Pawar, along with some of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) legislatures, switched over to the BJP-Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde)-led Maharashtra government recently.

Pawar was soon sworn in as a Deputy Chief Minister of the state. Maharashtras other Deputy Chief Minister is BJPs Devendra Fadnavis.
