In April this year, Mr Adani had visited Mr Pawar’s residence Silver Oak in south Mumbai. That meeting, which lasted for almost two hours, came within days of Mr Pawar coming out in support of Mr Adani and criticising the narrative being built around the report of US-based short seller Hindenburg.
His position was seen as variance with his allies such as Congress who had been asking for a for a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to probe the allegations. Mr Adani has denied all allegations.
Mr Pawar had at that time stated that he favoured a Supreme Court committee probing allegations against the Adani group.
The relationship between Mr Pawar and Mr Adani goes back nearly two decades. In his Marathi autobiography ‘Lok Maze Saangatia’, published in 2015, Mr Pawar heaped praises on Mr Adani who at the time was venturing into the coal sector.
He described Mr Adani as “hard-working, simple, down to earth” and with an ambition to make big in the infrastructure sector.
