In the heat of the Maharashtra assembly election campaign, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has publicly supported Prime Minister Narendra Modi's slogan "ek hai to safe hai," underscoring a call for unity across India. However, he has openly opposed Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's divisive rhetoric, considering it misaligned with Maharashtra's historic values.

Pawar is grappling with familial political challenges as his nephew, Yugendra Pawar, emerges as a rival candidate on the family's stronghold in Baramati. Despite internal tensions, Ajit remains optimistic, highlighting his contributions to local development as the determinant for maintaining his assembly seat.

With the Maratha factor and social schemes like the 'Ladki Bahin Yojana' playing a crucial role in the elections, Pawar remains committed to the ruling Mahayuti alliance's victory. He dismisses speculations about returning to the Opposition and responds to inappropriate political remarks by emphasizing constructive governance.
