Despite chequered past, Ajit Pawar enjoys firm support in Baramati

Hindustan Times  

Baramati: Back in 2019, when Ajit Anantrao Pawar attempted an early-morning unsuccessful coup by joining hands with the BJP, voters from his constituency were initially baffled. “Ajit Dada is our leader and we are solidly with him, whichever way he chooses to go,” said Tarabai Pawar, whose husband runs an eatery on the Baramati-Saswad road. “If Saheb brought industries here and employment to people in the early days, Dada too is credited with the development of Baramati town and bringing in industries in the recent past,” said Amar Mahadik, a young NCP leader who works closely with Ajit. Ajit Pawar’s political move remains uncertain, but Baramati locals aver that they will back him whichever way the tide turns. Multiple controversies In his political career spanning four decades, Ajit Pawar’s name cropped up in multiple cases that have attracted probes by different agencies.
