BJP MP Kangana Ranaut Thursday claimed that Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s wife and Rajya Sabha MP Sunetra Pawar attended a meet of the Rashtra Sevika Samiti, an offshoot of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
In a tweet on X, Ranaut said, “Today at my residence, a meeting of the Rashtriya Sevika Samiti women’s wing was held. At the meeting, we resolved to protect Sanatan values, Hindu culture… We should all strive for preserving service to humanity, affection for the nation and Santan culture. Woman’s alertness and participation will make our nation strong.”
आज मेरे आवास पर ‘राष्ट्र सेविका समिति’ महिला शाखा का आयोजन हुआ।हम सब मिलकर सनातन मूल्यों, हिन्दू संस्कृति और राष्ट्रीय चेतना को और प्रखर बनाएंगे।
हम सबका संकल्प है कि मानव सेवा, राष्ट्र निर्माण और सनातन संस्कृति के संरक्षण के लिए निरंतर कार्य करते रहेंगे।

“On one hand, he (Ajit Pawar) is taking the name of Shiv-Shahu-Phule-Ambedkar. And on the other hand, he (Ajit Pawar) or his representative attending the RSS meeting shows his double standard,” said NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) MLA Rohit Pawar.
Rohit Pawar said Ajit Pawar has joined hands with the BJP for his own reasons. “He might not have accepted their ideology but must be under pressure to attend meetings or upload photos to send out a message that he is accepting RSS ideology,” he added.
एका मीटिंगमध्ये माझ्या उपस्थितीबाबत चर्चा सुरू आहे, ज्याबाबत मी स्पष्टीकरण देऊ इच्छिते की त्यामागे कोणताही राजकीय उद्देश्य नव्हता. यात इतर महिला खासदारही सहभागी होत्या. राज्यसभेच्या खासदार म्हणून आणि बारामतीमध्ये दीर्घकाळ सामाजिक कार्य करत असताना, मला विविध महिला संघटनांच्या…

Reacting to the news, Ajit Pawar said in Wardha, “I have no clue whether my wife has attended the meeting or not. I will have to ask her. I don’t keep track of her every minute… I am going to ask her, ka ga kothe geli hoti (Where did you go).”
Ajit Pawar even tried to admonish journalists for raising the issue of his wife’s visit. “It is your right to ask questions. But what kind of question are you asking?… Journalists only look for breaking news,” he said.
