The society does not like rifts in families, Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar said on Friday, adding that he had admitted that fielding his wife against his cousin in the Lok Sabha elections was a mistake, PTI reported.
The deputy chief minister of Maharashtra made the comment at a rally in Gadchiroli while trying to dissuade Bhagyashree Atram Halgekar, the daughter of party leader and state minister Dharmarao Baba Atram, from joining the Sharad Pawar-led faction of the Nationalist Congress Party.
This came amid speculation that the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) could field Halgekar against her father in the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly polls. Atram is the MLA from Gadchiroli’s Aheri constituency.
“Nobody loves a daughter more than her father,” Ajit Pawar said. “Despite giving her away in marriage in Belgaum, he [Atram] stood by her in Gadchiroli and made her the president of Zilla Parishad. Now you [Halgekar] are set to fight against your own father. Is this right?”
He urged Halgekar to support Atram and help him win the election.
Ajit Pawar said that the political rift between Halgekar and her father would be similar to breaking the family.
“The society never accepts breaking one’s own family,” he said. “Society doesn’t like this. I have experienced the same and accepted my mistake.”
This is the second time...
