Maharashtra Politics: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Thursday said the party will decide whether his son Jai Pawar will contest from the Baramati assembly seat or not.
Ajit Pawar will not contest elections?
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief, who has represented the Baramati constituency in Pune district for the past several terms, also said that he is no longer interested in contesting the elections. However, state NCP chief Sunil Tatkare later said that Ajit Pawar did not say that he would not contest the upcoming assembly elections. While talking to the media, Ajit Pawar was responding to a question whether Jai would take the Baramati seat as per the demand of his supporters. On this he said, this is democracy. I have no interest in it (contesting elections) because I have contested seven-eight elections. If the people and his supporters think so, the parliamentary committee (NCP) will discuss it.
So Ajit Pawar will introduce Jai Pawar in the electoral field.
Ajit Pawar said if the parliamentary board and the “people” feel that Jai should be fielded, then the NCP is ready to field him. Earlier, his elder son Parth Pawar had contested elections from the Maval Lok Sabha seat in 2019 but lost by a huge margin.
Ajit Pawar to celebrate Raksha Bandhan with Supriya Sule?
Asked if he would celebrate Raksha Bandhan with his cousin and rival NCP MP (Sharadchandra Pawar) Supriya Sule, Ajit said that he is currently on a tour of the state and will meet all his sisters somewhere. He said, if Supriya Sule is where I am, then I will meet her. He dismissed media reports of differences between him and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and said that both of them are working together successfully.
