The Pawar Nephew’s views about Ajit Pawar
In the month of September, Ajit Pawar came into light about his call to a woman IPS officer. His call was made after a demolition drive against unauthorized excavation of murum in Kurdu village, Maharashtra. Pawar questioned the officer’s handling of the situation. The tone of the conversation, parts of which were circulated on social media, drew criticism from opposition leaders and activists, prompting Pawar to publicly express regret two days later.
Yugvendra Pawar criticized the Deputy CM’s conduct and said, ‘No one should talk to government officers in this manner’. Whereas Rohit Pawar defended his uncle, and asked for putting an end to the media trial.
Pawar Family Sticks Together

The Pawar family attended the traditional engagement ceremony held at Ms Kulkarni’s Mumbai residence on 03rd August 2025.
