Clash of 'Dadas' in Pawar homeground

AMIT Taware, a resident of Thopatewadi in Baramati assembly constituency in Maharashtra says Deputy CM Ajit Pawar has done a lot of development work in Baramati, but the people's real 'Daivat' (deity) is 84-year-old Sharad Pawar. "People will vote for anyone whom Pawar supports -- be it Ajit Pawar or Yugendra Pawar, the key contestants in Baramati.

Taware's belief about senior Pawar is shared by many residents. "We do respect Ajit Pawar, but he did something wrong by joining hands with BJP for power. Ajit Pawar should have shown some courage like NCP minister Chhagan Bhujbal and former home minister Anil Deshmukh, both went to jail and came out," said Sambhaji Sonawane, a resident. "Ajit Dada should have gone to jail rather than surrendering before the BJP. We are not with him now," said Sonawane.
