Ajit Pawar outsmarts estranged uncle Sharad Pawar

Mumbai, Nov 23 2024-

Ajit Pawar has finally outsmarted his estranged uncle Sharad Pawar not only is proving that the NCP headed by him is a ‘real’ NCP but also by winning more seats in the state Assembly elections.

Ajit Pawar, after deserting Sharad Pawar joined the MahaYuti in July 2023 and worked hard to consolidate his party’s presence in the state even after the oss of his wife and party nominee Sunetra Pawar to his estranged cousin and NCP-SP nominee Supriya Sule in the general elections from Baramati.

His move to turn pink helped to spread wings in the state. Ajit Pawar travelled extensively across the state to promote Ladki Bahin Yojana in a serious bid to lure women voters.

He promised his commitment that the Ladki Bahin Yojana would not be scrapped but it will continue for the next five years after MahaYuti comes back to power.
