NCP claims ad features character resembling Ajit Pawar in an unflattering light
Reportedly as Maharashtra’s election campaign heats up, a controversial advertisement from the maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition has sparked outrage within the nationalist congress party (NCP). The ad, which has gone viral on social media, is accused of defaming deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar.Meanwhile the ncp claims that the ad features a character resembling Pawar in an unflattering light. In the video, the character, dressed in a pink jacket and eating dhokla, engages in a conversation with a woman who sarcastically criticizes the financial assistance provided by the government. The woman, shown in the ad, questions the sufficiency of the Rs 1,500 monthly payment that Pawar allegedly promised, stating that it is inadequate to cover rising living costs. The ad also includes phrases such as “False promises" and “Misleading statements," intended to criticize Pawar’s policies.
Moreover ncp has lodged an official complaint with the mumbai police, calling for action against what it deems as a “deliberate attempt to mdata-align" Ajit Pawar’s reputation. Suraj Chavan, head of the ncp youth Wing, submitted a letter to the police Commissioner, asserting that the ad misrepresents Pawar’s actions and is part of a false narrative designed to deceive voters. Chavan contended that the ad’s intention is to damage Pawar’s public image and undermine his credibility, particularly in the context of the government’s welfare initiatives.
