Rohit Pawar urges Cong to withdraw & let her be elected unopposed from the seat that fell vacant after her husband Ajit Pawar’s demise in a plane crash. Voting is on 23 April.
Pushed to the background after his 2019 defeat, Parth Pawar seems poised for a comeback. Buoyed by a clean chit in a land deal probe, he is stepping into responsibilities once held by his father.
The controversial land deal was revoked after it came to light last week. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has set up a probe under Additional Chief Secretary Vikas Kharge.
Allegations levelled by activist Anjali Damani revolve around purchase of land parcel in Pune’s Mundhwa by firm in which NCP’s Parth Pawar is one of two directors.
Parth had unsuccessfully contested 2019 Lok Sabha polls from Maval after Sharad Pawar bowed out to make way for his grand-nephew. He was Pawar family's 1st member to lose an election.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar had Tuesday rebuked grand-nephew Parth Pawar, describing him as ‘immature’, for demanding CBI probe into actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.
The senior Pawar slammed his grand-nephew, Ajit Pawar’s son Parth, for demanding a CBI probe into Sushant Singh Rajput's alleged suicide, against the party line.
Seat Parth Pawar is contesting from was believed to be one of the safest seats for NCP in Maharashtra, given it was a member of its first family in the fray.
Rohit Pawar, the grand-nephew of NCP chief Sharad Pawar, is expected to contest Maharashtra elections later this year. This is after the debut of his cousin Parth in Lok Sabha polls.
