Sharad Pawar calls for strong voter response against Ajit Pawar's faction in Maharashtra elections
At a rally in Solapur, Sharad Pawar urged voters to deliver a significant defeat to Ajit Pawar's faction in the upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections. He shared a personal story of overcoming political betrayal in the past. Pawar emphasized the importance of showing strong opposition to those who defected from his party. He recalled how he successfully defeated 52 MLAs who had switched sides decades ago, reinforcing his experience in political resilience. The Nationalist Congress Party split last year, with Ajit Pawar leading a faction that joined the state government. The faction led by Sharad Pawar is contesting the elections under a new name and symbol, with his grandnephew running against Ajit Pawar in Baramati.
