In the evening, before the close of the campaign, Rohit Pawar became emotional and cried on stage while addressing the rally. He said, "All the Pawar family members, party workers, and small workers like me are behind you. Though some leaders left you alone."
Taking a jibe, Ajit Pawar said, "Baramatikar will not tolerate such foul cries, show the work you did in the constituency. I can also cry, but I will not." He also added, "I have given a ticket of Zila Parishad to Rohit despite Sharad Pawar's opposition. I have taught him lessons of politics, now he (Rohit) is criticizing me."
Sharad Pawar said, "We will break the Dada Giri of Ajit Pawar." Due to continuous rallies, Pawar had a sore throat.
