Sharad Pawar, the esteemed leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), has issued a stark warning to his adversaries as he rallies voters to deliver a substantial defeat to defectors supporting Ajit Pawar in the forthcoming Maharashtra assembly elections.

Speaking at a rally in Madha, Solapur district, Pawar drew parallels with a historic political defection incident that saw him stripped of his Leader of Opposition position nearly five decades ago. His unwavering determination led to the defeat of the backstabbers, and he recalls these events to motivate today's electorate.

With passionate support from the crowd, Pawar called for a message that one should tread carefully when confronting him.
