Mr. Ajit dada
Pawar
DEPUTY CHIEF MINISTER MAHARASHTRA
He is a Maratha strongman and Mr. Sharad Pawar's nephew.
That by no means was enough for him to nurture a successful
political
career.
He has endeavoured himself to
the
common man because of his achievements rather than being Saheb's nephew
or a minister.
Mr Ajit
Pawar had to go through the travails and tribulations
of public life like any ordinary politician. Mr. Ajit Pawar's maiden
foray into the electoral areas was in 1982. He was in the foray as a
candidate for a sugar co-operative body election which he won by a good
margin. He
was elected MLA from Baramati later. In 1991 Mr Ajit Pawar
was elected MP from the constituency once represented by Mr Sharad
Pawar. He
returned to state politics again with a bang. He was
re-elected as MLA from Baramati and inducted into the Sudhakar Naik
Government.
He has held a wide variety of posts in a number of cooperative
institution with distinction. Mr Ajit Pawar was the chairman of the
Pune District Cooperative Bank for 16 years. It merits attention that
when he took over, the deposits were just Rs 300 crore. When he
relinquished office this had increased to an astronomical figure of Rs
160000 crore. As the countdown for an alternative, viable secular
government gained momentum in the post-poll scenario, Ajit Pawar played
a vital role in bridging the communication gap between the Congress and
NCP. He still insists on the point that both the Congress parties
should sink their differences to settle down to business in earnest in
the larger interest of the state. In an exclusive interview with this
correspondent, Mr Ajit Pawar said the NCP would not destabilise the
newly formed DF Government to uphold the sanctity of the people's
mandate. Hon. Ajitdada Pa war is known as a trusted leader of thousands
of activists from Maharashtra. He has achieved this stature because of
his thoughts actions and achievements. Therefore, workers from every
corner of the state do not hesitate to carry their grievance to
Ajitdada wherever he is. He is their trusted guide, he is their
inspiration.
One essential feature of Hon. Ajitdada's style of work is that whatever
be the development activity he pours his heart into it. Only a leader
who has the political willpower to resolve the problem of regional
imbalance of Maharashtra with a penchant for natural justice. Hon. Da
da obviously has such political will power. Hence his responsibility is
magnified multifold and he certainly has necessary ability and
experience to handle this responsibility.
Every action by Ajit is backed by firm conviction, definite approach,
proper planning, imaginative vision and responsible administration. The
famous line of Shree Samarth Ramdas, "Bole Taisa Chale" (Action as per
words) applies to Dada perfectly. After the late Chief Minister of
Maharashtra, vasantdada Patil, only shri. Ajit Pawar has had the honour
of being addressed as "Dada". This honor is a testament to his
popularity among the population.
