Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar criticized his uncle, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, implying nepotism in party leadership. Ajit expressed disappointment, suggesting he was denied leadership opportunities because he isn’t Sharad’s son. He highlighted his contributions to Pune district and defended aligning with BJP and Shiv Sena. Tensions rise amid electoral battles with his cousin Supriya Sule. Ajit also criticized Sharad for allegedly holding talks with BJP before 2019 elections. The rift indicates a power struggle within the NCP, challenging Sharad Pawar’s leadership and highlighting familial divisions in Maharashtra politics.
