Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) chief Ajit Pawar, while addressing the voters of Malegaon, made a statement which has evoked a sharp reaction in the political circles. During the Malegaon Nagar Panchayat election campaign in Baramati tehsil, Ajit Pawar said that if voters choose his party’s candidates, he will not allow any shortage of funds in the city, but if people reject his candidates, he will also respond in the same way.
Deputy CM Ajit Pawar said that if you elect all the 18 NCP candidates, I promise that there will be no shortage of funds in the city. You have votes, I have funds. If you make 18 out of 18 candidates win, I will fulfill all my promises, but if you do not choose us, I will also refuse.
Ambadas said – Funds come from public taxes
According to the information, this statement has come at a time when Pawar is also the Finance Minister in the Maharashtra government. His statement angered the opposition and opposition leaders called it a statement to ‘threaten the voters’. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Ambadas Danve directly accused Pawar. He said that the funds do not come from Ajit Pawar’s house, but from public taxes. It is against democratic values for a responsible leader to threaten voters in this way. What action is the Election Commission taking on this?
Election Commission should take immediate cognizance of Pawar’s statement
Ambadas Danve further said that this statement indicates misuse of administrative machinery and can influence the election process. He demanded immediate cognizance from the Election Commission. It is noteworthy that Malegaon Nagar Panchayat elections are going to be held on December 2. Here Ajit Pawar’s NCP has formed an alliance with the BJP-backed panel. After this statement of Pawar, the political atmosphere has become more heated, because the opposition is calling it an attempt to “put pressure” on the voters.
Pawar’s statement gave a new turn to the election debate
As elections are nearing, all the parties are active, but this statement of Ajit Pawar has given a new turn to the election debate. Political analysts are considering this as a part of Pawar’s strategy, but at the same time they are also calling it a statement raising questions on the democratic process.
Now everyone’s eyes are on the reaction and possible action of the Election Commission. Such statements during the election process have intensified the debate regarding electoral transparency and fairness.
