NCP founder Sharad Pawar’s grandnephew Rohit Pawar expressed his confidence and fearlessness amidst the Enforcement Directorate’s searches linked to Baramati Agro Limited. He stated that he is not scared by such actions and will not be influenced to change his stance or ideology. The searches were carried out at various locations in the state. Rohit, who was abroad, returned to India and firmly asserted his innocence. He criticized the ruling alliance’s alleged political use of central agencies against opposition leaders and stated that he would not switch parties out of fear. Rohit also responded to Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ statement, expressing surprise and asserting that he had never made any such claim. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar disregarded Rohit’s allegations, considering him to be immature and stated that his party workers were enough to respond to him.
