Pimpri-Chinchwad: After Sharad Pawar said the country is not safe in Narendra Modi’s hands, his grand nephew, Rohit Pawar has questioned the hypocrisy of the Bhratiya Janata Party.
Lambasting the chief minister, Rohit asked Devendra Fadnavis, “How can you be okay with Vikhe-Patil and Mohite-Patil while you speak against dynasty rule?” Rohit was speaking on the campaign trail for his brother, Parth who is the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) candidate from Maval.
Addressing the locals in Maval, Rohit claimed given the scenario, “Our constitutional right to vote can also be forcibly taken away, is a prevailing fear.” “When Fadnavis alleged that in the last 70 years of the Congress rule, western Mahrashtra was allowed to deteriorate. The forum broke out into applause. Who clapped?
All the Vikhe-Patil and Mohote-Patil type leaders who have crossed over and did not even give a thought to why they were clapping. It basically means, Fadnavis has held their grandfathers for the sorry state of affairs and the tragedy is, they did not get it,” said Rohit.
Rohit accused Fadnavis of speaking loudly and still not getting any applause. “One cannot find the word vikas (development) in his speech. He only speaks of dynasty rule and accusing one leader or the other of bringing the country to the brink,” said Rohit.
He added, “While criticising dynasty rule, how can he tolerate Vikhe, Mohite dynasties?” Rohit defended his cousin, saying the BJP leaders are targeting him only on the issue of dynasty. “Parth is working hard, but he is being accused of benefitting from his family name.
Tell me, if in business, heirs are nominated always, then in politics why they are despised,” Rohit asked the villagers. He highlighted the plights of the speakers and writers, saying the government or leaders cannot take the truth. People are being thrown in jail, he said.
