In Brief

• Will Jay Pawar enter the fray for the Baramati mayoral position?

• There were allegations before, but nothing came of it

• My identity is in delivering results through work

There has been talk in political circles for some days that the son of the state's Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, Jay Pawar, will enter the fray in the upcoming local self-government elections in the state. Ajit Pawar himself has commented on this today. Today, while speaking at a press conference in Baramati, Ajit Pawar has clearly commented on this. Ajit Pawar has clarified that Jay Pawar will not contest the election.

I also heard that discussion, but...

Is Jay Pawar going to contest for the position of Chairman of Baramati Municipal Council? This discussion has been ongoing for the past few days. Speaking on this question, Ajit Pawar said, I also heard that discussion, many people told me today as well, but nothing like that will happen. By saying this, Ajit Pawar has made it clear that Jay Pawar will not be entering the election arena.

Previous allegations did not lead to anything

During the ongoing discussions in the state regarding Parth Pawar's Koregaon Park land scam, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar clarified his stance today, saying, “I have never done anything wrong in my life. Do not use my name to pressure anyone. I have not done anything wrong so far and will not do so in the future.” Pawar said, “Some incidents occurred in the meantime, and an investigation is underway. The facts will come to light within a month. I was also surprised to see how the document was prepared without paying a single rupee. What exactly happened will soon be revealed. But as soon as elections start, a series of allegations begin. We have been accused before, but nothing came of it. However, defamation does occur.”

My identity is defined by my work

Ajit Pawar said, “We must respect the Constitution. If something is wrong, we can speak about it, but it is inappropriate to always bring up Baramati's name for political purposes. I have never done anything wrong, and I will not do so in the future.” Ajit Pawar firmly stated in the end, “There have been many ups and downs in politics, but I am satisfied. My identity is defined by my work, and I will take every step forward with an eye on the state.”
