Reacting over Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Devendra Fadnavis' Twitter attack on NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Maharashtra Home Minister Dilip Walse Patil slammed the former Chief Minister Fadnavis and labelled allegation as a "favourite trend".

While talking to mediapersons in Mumbai, Walse said, "It has become a favourite trend of people to give statements against Sharad Pawar. Everyone knows his role in politics, I don't think tweeting against him would benefit anyone in any way."
