Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar should have left the dais in protest in Shirdi or corrected Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he questioned NCP chief Sharad Pawar's contribution to the farming community, said former state minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Anil Deshmukh on Friday, reported news agency PTI.

Anil Deshmukh was referring to PM Modi's address on Thursday where he performed puja at the revered Saibaba temple in Shirdi, inaugurated a slew of developmental projects and gave a public address.
