Police vehicles being used to provide financial aid to candidates of ruling parties

Nationalist Congress Party (SP) president Sharad Pawar on Saturday alleged that police vehicles are being used to provide financial assistance to candidates of the ruling parties in Maharashtra ahead of the Assembly polls.

BARAMATI:

Addressing reporters at his residence, Govind Baug, the former union minister, said he wanted to speak more on the issue publicly but is refraining from doing so as this would hurt the officials who have shared the information with him.

Pawar's grandnephews and his party's candidates, Yugendra Pawar (Baramati) and Rohit Pawar (Karjat-Jamkhed), were also at the press conference.

The extended Pawar family meets at Govind Baug every year, but Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and his family were missing this year.
