Ajit Pawar sparks controversy with "You're Not My Boss" remark in Baramati
Mumbai: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar stirred controversy during a recent visit to Baramati with a remark addressing his voters. Speaking while receiving a memorandum, Pawar stated, “Just because you voted for me, it doesn’t mean you have become my boss or owner. Have you made me a farm labourer now?”
The statement has drawn widespread attention, coinciding with ongoing political discussions surrounding the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). On January 3, the Ajit Pawar-led faction of the NCP dismissed any possibility of reuniting with Sharad Pawar’s group.
The NCP has reiterated its alliance with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) at the Centre and the Mahayuti coalition in Maharashtra. Maharashtra NCP chief Sunil Tatkare confirmed that the party’s July 2023 decision to align with the BJP remains unchanged.
“Our party is firmly allied with the NDA at the Centre and MahaYuti in the state. Under Ajit Pawar’s leadership, the NCP has achieved significant electoral victories. There is no rethinking on this stand,” Tatkare said.
When questioned about the possibility of reuniting with the Sharad Pawar faction, Tatkare dismissed speculation, stating, “There are no ifs and buts in politics.”
Meanwhile, Ajit Pawar’s mother, Ashatai Pawar, has expressed her desire for reconciliation within the Pawar family. During a visit to the temple town of Pandharpur, she shared her hopes, saying, “I wish that the differences within the Pawar family end at the earliest. I hope Pandurang answers my prayers.”
Tatkare responded to her emotional appeal by distinguishing personal relationships from political decisions, asserting, “Family and politics are two different things.”
