Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Thursday took a swipe at his uncle Sharad Pawar's decision to form an alliance with the Congress within only a few months after raising the issue of Sonia Gandhi's foreign origins.

Ajit Pawar, who rebelled against Sharad Pawar last year and split the Nationalist Congress Party, also asked why he was being criticised for joining hands with the Bharatiya Janata Party when his uncle had formed an alliance with the Shiv Sena two years earlier, newswire PTI reported.
