Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) general secretary Vinod Tawde on Wednesday took strong exception to Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar's criticism of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and said he has forgotten the values of Maharashtra's social reformers, reported news agency PTI.

Days after BJP leader Shah targeted Pawar by accusing him of practicing "politics of betrayal and treachery" in Maharashtra since 1978, the latter hit back, saying none of Shah's predecessors who became Union Home Ministers faced externment.
