Political Rift Echoes in Family: Ajit Pawar and Supriya Sule Avoid Interaction at Pune Event
Pune, 10th March 2024: Since the split in the NCP in July 2023, tensions between the factions led by Sharad Chandra Pawar and Ajit Pawar have resulted in numerous accusations and criticisms. This strained relationship has reportedly extended to personal dynamics within the Pawar family. Notably, at an event in Pune, siblings Ajit Pawar and Supriya Sule, who belong to different factions, did not speak to each other despite sharing the same platform, sparking political discussions and speculations.
The event in question involved Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar laying the foundation stone for the Multispeciality Healing Hospital, with MP Supriya Sule also present on the platform. However, there was no interaction between Ajit Pawar and Supriya Sule throughout the program, leading to political debates and suggestions that the lack of communication was deliberate.
When questioned about this apparent distance, Supriya Sule explained, though specific details about the explanation were not provided in the provided context. The incident highlights the complex political and personal dynamics at play within the Pawar family and the broader NCP landscape.
Supriya Sule addressed the media after the event to clarify the apparent lack of interaction with her brother Ajit Pawar, stating, “I never got a chance to talk to Ajitdada. They were in a hurry to go. They came late and left early. I had already come and sat on time. I came, and Devendra Fadnavis came immediately after me. So I got a chance to chat with them. Then Ajit Pawar came late. Later he was late for the next event. It can be hectic. They are busy people,” Supriya Sule commented, providing context to the situation.
Earlier, both Supriya Sule and Ajit Pawar were seen on the same platform along with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde at the Namo Rozgar Mela in Baramati a few days ago. However, even during that event, it was observed that while communicating with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, they avoided direct communication with each other, indicating underlying political tensions. The complex dynamics within the NCP and the Pawar family continue to be a subject of observation and discussion.
