Ajit Pawar's Absence at Sharad Pawar's Event Fuels Political Speculation

Ajit Pawar's Absence: Sparks political debate as tensions rise before Malegaon elections.
Published on

Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's absence from a high-profile agricultural workshop in Baramati has stirred political speculation, especially given the growing tensions ahead of the Malegaon Cooperative Sugar Factory elections. The event, organized by Vidya Pratishthan, was inaugurated by former Union Agriculture Minister and MP Sharad Pawar, with MP Supriya Sule also in attendance.

The workshop, centered on “AI-Based Crop Management and Fino Piping”, drew participation from several international scientists and experts. Discussions focused on cutting-edge technologies in agriculture, including irrigation systems, water management, and the integration of artificial intelligence in farming practices.

However, what caught more attention than the event’s content was Ajit Pawar’s conspicuous absence — especially as the occasion brought together senior leaders from the Pawar family on a common platform. Political observers believe this absence may be linked to the upcoming Malegaon factory elections, where factions aligned with Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar are reportedly facing off.

Sources suggest that Ajit Pawar may have deliberately skipped the Baramati event to avoid sharing the stage with his uncle, as it could potentially influence voter sentiments in the run-up to the crucial election. Instead, Ajit Pawar spent the day in Malegaon, directly interacting with factory workers as part of his campaign strategy — a move that has further intensified the political atmosphere.

Analysts see this as a strategic decision, aimed at maintaining distance during a politically sensitive period. With Baramati long seen as the Pawar family’s political stronghold, such developments are being closely watched and are expected to have far-reaching implications in the local power dynamics.
