Sharad Pawar’s wife stopped at an industrial estate associated with Ajit’s wife – Times of India

PUNE: A visit by NCP patriarch Sharad Pawar’s wife Pratibha and their granddaughter Revati to the Baramati Hi-Tech Textile Park turned controversial when they were stopped at the park entrance for almost 30 minutes on Sunday.
The incident sparked debate within political circles, especially considering the park’s connection with the Pawar family. Deputy CM Ajit Pawar’s wife Sunetra is the chairman of the park.
A video shows a relative accompanying Pratibha and MP Supriya Sule’s daughter Revati interrogating a security guard, who claims he was instructed by authorities to prevent their entry. After about half an hour, a conversation between a park representative and the security guard led to the vehicles being allowed inside.
The park’s chief manager, Anil Wagh, clarified that the misunderstanding stemmed from misinformation about a political meeting. “I got information that a political meeting was coming up in the park, but I did not know that it was Sharad Pawar’s wife who wanted to visit the park,” he said.
“When I realized it was her, I immediately told the security staff to let her into the park. She and other family members were in contact with some female employees of the park.”
The park was established during Sharad Pawar’s tenure as Union Agriculture Minister when UPA-I was in power and has long been associated with his legacy in the region.
