Parth Pawar, son of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar and late Ajit Pawar, has come under severe criticism by the Congress over his comments against the national party. A day after he predicted the downfall of the Congress in Maharashtra because of the national party’s decision to contest Baramati bypoll against his mother, the Congress showed rare aggression while slamming him. Calling him an ‘ungrateful son’, a bad orator, the national party has questioned his ‘political convenience’ and silence over his father’s accidental death. Congress also reminded him that the Karnataka government by Congress has registered an FIR in the matter. Parth did not find support in family as well, with grandfather Sharad Pawar, aunt Supriya Sule and cousin Rohit Pawar taking a contradictory stance.

Baramati bypoll: May withdraw from fray if FIR registered in Ajit Pawar plane crash, says Congress

“Isn’t it a bit too much for a son—who can’t even deliver a speech properly and has just become an MP thanks to the accumulated merits of his family—to be talking about the downfall of the Congress party? It would be better if this ungrateful son—who stayed silent as a political convenience to escape scrutiny in the land scam investigation right after his father’s suspicious accidental death, and who surrendered before the superpower—simply refrained from speaking about the Congress party altogether,” Maharashtra Congress posted on its official X handle.
