On Saturday, while reacting to PM Narendra Modi's remarks on Sharad Pawar, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and MP Sanjay Raut replied by asking, "Does the PM suffer from amnesia".

In a veiled attack on Sharad Pawar, who was the Agriculture Minister in the UPA government, PM Modi had said that while the BJP-led government was actively empowering farmers, some individuals in Maharashtra were engaged in political activities under the guise of representing farmers.
