Key Statements
Ajit Pawar said, “I made a mistake in fielding Sunetra against my sister. This shouldn’t have happened. But the parliamentary board (of NCP) made a decision. Now I feel it was wrong.”
Praful Patel stated, “It is his personal matter, his family’s matter. He is a senior leader in the state and the president of our party, the NCP. If he has said something, then I do not think it is appropriate for me to say anything more about it.”
Deepak Kesarkar added, “We should not mix family with politics. As a brother, it is his (Ajit Pawar’s) duty to go and celebrate Rakshabandhan. Also, as a political leader, he would be at the forefront for Mahayuti to win elections.”
