Pimpri-Chinchwad: In a public gathering in Pimpri-Chinchwad, MP Supriya Sule took a veiled swipe at Ajit Pawar, subtly criticizing the leadership in the city.
"Since the leadership here is different, I didn’t focus much on this city. Even when I did visit, I refrained from holding events. I don’t like interfering in other people's work," said Sule, clearly hinting at the political dynamics involving Ajit Pawar, without directly naming him.
Sule was addressing citizens gathered from Samarjeet Singh Ghatge's constituency at an event held in Pimpri-Chinchwad. During her speech, she emphasized the importance of loyalty and support.
"If you've shared a meal with someone, you must never forget their debt for life, whether they remain by your side or not, because they stood by you during your ups and downs," she remarked.
Her speech took a critical turn as she expressed her dismay over the current political environment. "The state of today’s politics needs a serious overhaul. Even my mother is disillusioned with it," she said.
Sule further condemned the rhetoric of certain leaders, saying, "Today’s speeches by some leaders are creating unnecessary divisions in society. Who says, ‘Send the police home for a day, and let’s see what happens'?
This country runs on the Constitution, not on the whims of invisible powers. Who are you trying to intimidate with such threats?" This was seen as a direct challenge to the ruling authorities, signaling Sule’s growing discontent with the current political climate.
During her speech, Sule also revisited painful memories from her Baramati Lok Sabha election campaign. "Every institution was against me. I didn’t have a single person by my side. We had to secretly form booth committees, and in many places, we struggled to even find people for those committees.
We went to the homes of individuals we had long-standing relationships with, but they slammed their doors in our faces, expressing their anger through their votes," she recounted.
