The recent series of events, marked by public speeches and internal critiques, shed light on the intricate dynamics within the family and its politerical ramifications.
Ajit Dada’s Appeal and Sharad Pawar’s Remark: During a gathering in Baramati, Ajit Dada, a prominent figure in Maharashtra politics, made a notable appeal to Sunetra Pawar, emphasizing the dynamics between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. This statement, seemingly aimed at influencing the ongoing political scenario, sparked curiosity among observers. However, when questioned by journalists, senior leader Sharad Pawar’s cryptic response, distinguishing between “original Pawar and outside Pawar,” added further intrigue. This thinly veiled suggestion hinted at a perceived divide within the family, with implications for Sunetra Pawar’s position in the political hierarchy.
Women’s Meeting and Sharmila Pawar’s Tease: In a separate event, a women’s meeting convened in Baramati witnessed the presence of influential Pawar family members, including Pratibha Pawar, Supriya Sule, and MLA Rohit Pawar. During the gathering, Sharmila Pawar, wife of Srinivas Pawar and Chairperson of Sharyu Foundation, injected a playful tease into her speech. Emphasizing Supriya Sule’s innate connection to the Pawar lineage, she indirectly addressed the issue of familial legitimacy and hierarchy within the political domain.
Notice Issued to Sunetra Pawar and Supriya Sule: Amidst the unfolding family drama, a procedural discrepancy emerged regarding election campaign expenses in Baramati Lok Sabha constituency. Election Returning Officer Kavita Dwivedi issued notices to Supriya Sule and Sunetra Pawar, highlighting inconsistencies between declared expenditures and official records. This development underscores the regulatory scrutiny surrounding the electoral process and adds a legal dimension to the ongoing political narrative.
Ajit Pawar’s Response and Party Dynamics: As tensions escalate within the Pawar family, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar addressed the NCP’s ex-officers, reaffirming his commitment to the party’s cause. Amidst speculations about familial rifts and political maneuvering, Ajit Pawar’s assurance to party workers signifies a strategic move to maintain cohesion and support within the party ranks. However, the unfolding events in Baramati hint at deeper rifts and power struggles that could shape Maharashtra’s political landscape in the days to come.
