Can we add 2 different versions of same package in NuGet

Question

Is it possible to have 2 different versions of the same NuGet package (in my case its jQuery 1.10.1 & 2.0.2) within same project?

If yes, how can we do that?

Thanks

The short answer is no.

Check out NuGet issue Allow side-by-side versions of jQuery (and others). It was closed by Phil Haack (NuGet contributor) with message "won't fix".

The recommended workaround by Phil Haack is You've hit the boundaries of NuGet. Just reference one of them using a CDN or manually add the script files.
