Ajit Pawar hit out at Sharad Pawar for “low-level politics” of fielding a family member against him
Reportedly in an uncharacteristic emotional outburst, maharashtra Deputy chief minister ajit pawar has accused his uncle sharad pawar of splitting the family and making the “same mistake” as him by fielding a family member against him in Baramati for the assembly elections. The Pawar family has been in the limelight ever since a disgruntled ajit pawar split the ncp to join the ruling Mahayuti in July last year. And then, during the lok sabha elections, he followed it up by fielding his wife, Sunetra Pawar, against cousin supriya sule from the Baramati parliamentary constituency.Perhaps once again this seat will be the most discussed with another electoral contest between two Pawar family members. The deputy chief minister, who is contesting the election for the seventh time, said: “I will win in Baramati with a good number of votes. Everyone has the right to contest elections. I made a mistake by fielding my wife Sunetra Pawar in the Lok Sabha. Now, sharad pawar (group) has made the same mistake by fielding Yugendra.”Moreover Ajit filed his nomination from the Baramati seat on monday for the november 20 assembly elections. He reached the tehsil office in pune district to file the nomination while being accompanied by a large number of supporters who took out a rally as a mark of their show of strength. His two sons Parth Pawar and Jay Pawar, and other party leaders were present.
