Modi to have lunch with Sharad Pawar on Valentine's Day. Will Hindu Mahasabha swoop down on them?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and NCP chief Sharad Pawar plan to have lunch together on Saturday, which happens to be Valentine's Day, and the move has generated considerable political interest.

Modi will travel to the home of the Nationalist Congress Party chief in Baramati in Pune district after attending several events, including an expo at the Krishi Vigyan Kendra in Baramati, though NCP leaders claim it was nothing of political significance, reports IANS.

The meeting will be the highlight of Modi's day-long visit to Maharashtra with engagements in Pune and Mumbai.

NCP state president Sunil Tatkare, not willing to be dragged into any political speculation, retorted Thursday: "What is wrong if the prime minister attends a function pertaining to development?"
