Mumbai: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar, on Wednesday, paid tribute to the late Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and her husband, Ajit Pawar, on the occasion of his birth anniversary. She stated that Pawar had been a pillar of strength and support for the family.
On his birth anniversary, Sunetra took to social media and wrote, “Dada... For so many years, I celebrated your birthday with such joy, enthusiasm, and pride. The home and family would be filled with happiness, with blessings pouring in from all around. But today, observing this very same day as your 'jayanti,' my heart breaks completely from within. Even today, my heart refuses to accept this bitter truth, Dada.”
Sunetra further wrote that he had always stood by her during difficult times and had been her greatest source of strength. “Today, all of it has suddenly vanished,” she wrote.
The post further read, “I never even dreamed that time would snatch away the biggest pillar of my life so soon. Today, as I mark this day of yours, my heart squeezes in pain; the tears in my eyes refuse to stop.”
Along with the tribute, Sunetra also shared a few photographs with her husband, Ajit Pawar, in which the couple can be seen sharing cherished moments together.
