Senior Congress leader Vijay Waddetiwar on Saturday (November 15, 2025) demanded a judicial inquiry by a High Court judge into the alleged irregularities in the Pune land deal involving a company linked to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's son, Parth Pawar.
The Congress Legislature Party leader has written a letter to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis seeking a "neutral, independent and detailed" investigation, alleging that the government has been "misleading" people on the issue.

He claimed that the action taken against two Tehsildars was linked to another matter and not to the disputed land purchase.
"All officials involved in the purchase of watan land must face action," he said, adding that senior officers cannot escape accountability, and the district collector and the sub-divisional officer (SDO) cannot wash their hands of this case.
