Deputy Chief Minister Ajit PawarRohit Pawar, a Maharashtra MLA from the Opposition NCP (SP) led by Sharad Pawar, described Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, who is also his uncle, on Saturday as a ”fast bowler known for delivering yorkers”. At the same time, he described Jayant Patil, a leader of his party, as a spinner who bowls offspins, leg spins, and googlies.
”If I employ cricket language, then I would say Ajitdada is a fast bowler who is known for delivering yorkers. Ajitdada’s speed is such that batters to some extent get scared of his bowling,” the MLA said at the inauguration of the N D Patil Auditorium in Sangli. Ajit Pawar, Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil, and NCP (SP) leader Jayant Patil were among those present at the event.
Turning to Chandrakant Patil, Rohit said, ”He sometimes bats, sometimes resorts to bowling.”
Speaking about Jayant Patil, the MLA said, ”He sometimes bowls offspins, leg spins, and even googlies. At times, he has bowl in the hand but does not bowl.”
Rohit said that Ajit Pawar had pulled him up after he spoke in the Assembly a few years before. ”Ajit Pawar called me up…I thought he would praise me. But he said, ‘I want to tell you something important’. He told me to button my shirt properly while delivering the speech. It means he pays minute attention towards me. He thinks more about politics and has forgotten the family.”
Responding to Rohit’s remarks, Ajit Pawar said, ”He should remember that I gave enough time to the family and that is why he could become an MLA. He should introspect how many votes he secured. He barely scraped through because of postal votes. Therefore, they should do their work, I will do mine.”
On the occasion, Rohit Pawar announced Rs 40 lakh for the N D Patil Auditorium and urged both Ajit Pawar and Chandrakant Patil to pledge financial assistance.
However, Ajit Pawar told Rohit to “slow down” and not to “indulge in theatrics”.
