Ajit Pawar, a leader of the NCP and the deputy chief minister of Maharashtra, denied on Sunday that he had missed Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s events in Mumbai the day before, claiming that he had notified Shah’s office in advance of his previous commitments.
To see Lord Ganesh, Shah went to the homes of CM Ekanth Shinde and DCM Devendra Fadnavis. In addition, he visited the well-known Lalbaug cha Raja pandal. Later, he discussed the cooperative movement when delivering the Laxmanrao Inamdar Memorial Lecture at Mumbai University.
“On Friday, I was in Baramati. On Sundays, Mondays, and Fridays, I have set aside time for Pimpri Chinchwad, Pune, and Baramati, respectively. On Friday, Baramati was to host the annual gathering of the Barmati Bazar Samiti, Barmati Bank, and Sahyog Grihnirman Sanstha. When questioned about missing Amit Shah’s event, Pawar told reporters in Pimpri Chinchwad, “I had earlier notified Amit Shah’s office about the same.
The senior NCP politician, who led a section of MLAs to join the Shiv Sena-BJP administration in July, was asked about a banner projecting his nephew Rohit Pawar as the future chief minister. He said that such propaganda is a “daydream” until one can get the backing of 145 MLAs (out of 288).
In response to a question on the picture of NCP founder Sharad Pawar and Praful Patel, who is today associated with the Ajit Pawar group, the deputy CM declined to comment.
I’m often questioned by the media about images, but I don’t want to respond. I’m here to respond to inquiries about development, he said.
Ajit Pawar said that the state administration supports providing Maratha and Dhangar community people with reservations.
“All efforts are being made to take a decision within the framework of law and to ensure that quotas of other communities are not affected,” he said.
When asked about the status of the Pimpri to Nigdi metro expansion, he responded that the project has already reached Delhi.
“On the filing, just one minister’s signature is required. I shall meet the relevant (minister) when I go to Delhi and complete the assignment. Residents in the regions from Nigdi to Katraj will see a new step toward realizing their desire of living in the metropolis, he said.
