UNION home minister Amit Shah on Sunday launched an unusually blistering attack on Opposition leader Sharad Pawar, calling him the 'sargana of corruption' (ring leader of corruption).

Shah was speaking at the BJP's state convention in Pune, kick-starting the party's elections campaign for the upcoming assembly elections.
