Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat were among the early voters to exercise their franchise as polling is under way today for the state Assembly elections.
N.C.P. leader Ajit Pawar and his wife Sunetra Pawar cast their vote at Katewadi in Baramati Area of Pune District.
Deputy C.M. is pitted against his nephew and N.C.P. (S.P.) candidate Yugendra Pawar in the Baramati Assembly Seat.
Yugendra Pawar also cast his vote along with his parents in Baramati.
The B.J.P., an ally of Ajit Pawar’s N.C.P., on Tuesday played purported voice notes of Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole and N.C.P. (S.P.) leader Supriya Sule to allege attempts to encash Bitcoins to influence the state elections, claiming it poses a serious question on the conduct of polls in a free and fair manner.
Asked about it, Ajit Pawar said an investigation should be done to verify the truth in the allegations.
“I was watching the news. I have known Patole for many years. He was speaker and M.L.A. and I can recognise his voice. Still I cannot correctly say about the voice as there are people who can imitate others’ voice,” Ajit expressed.
Lok Sabha member Sule and her daughter also cast their votes in Baramati. Speaking to reporters, Sule refuted B.J.P.’s allegations against her.
“Yesterday, the B.J.P. posed five questions too. My answer is ‘No’ to their allegations. It is not my voice in that audio clip. Anyone can check. I am not at all linked to this matter,” Supriya Sule maintained. Supriya Sule said she is ready to reply to all the allegations of B.J.P.
Yugendra Pawar also termed the allegations against his aunt Supriya Sule as “baseless and false”.
“I am sure I will have the support and blessings of Baramati’s people,” Yugendra Pawar confidently said.
