Pawar, who holds the finance portfolio in the Mahayuti Govt, said “I will ensure there is no shortage of funds if you elect all 18 NCP candidates. If you elect all 18 candidates, I am committed to give whatever I have promised. But if you reject, I will also reject. You have votes, I have funds.”
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Ambadas Danve accused Pawar of threatening voters.
“Funds are given from the taxes paid by the common people and not from Ajit Pawar’s house. If a leader like Pawar is threatening voters, what is the Election Commission doing?” he asked.
