On 12 November, reliable information came in from Baramati that Union Agriculture Minister and NCP president Sharad Pawar appeared “restless and disturbed” at his farmhouse in Baramati. He was not the usual relaxed self that he is during Diwali when he’s at home for a traditional family gathering and there’s peace and cheer all around. What was bothering him? Was something happening in national politics? Had Arvind Kejriwal latched on to something damaging?
