PUNE: Nationalist Congress Party chief Ajit Pawar on Saturday stated he cancelled his programmes for Friday as he was unwell after lengthy excursions throughout Maharashtra over the previous few days and requested the media to not speculate on such points because it induced confusion. “I was unwell so I cancelled tours and events scheduled for Friday. Over the past few days, I have travelled across Maharashtra and have not got enough rest. Due to lack of proper sleep, pulmonary irritation was also on the rise. I took medicines and took rest at home as advised by the doctor,” he stated.
“I too am human and might face health issues. The media must stop speculating during such times and verify before publishing any news. We are public figures but it is wrong to defame us in this manner,” he added. He was talking after inaugurating a jewelry store in Pimpri in Pune district on Saturday alongside along with his spouse.Â
When NCP chief Sharad Pawar was requested by media about Ajit Pawar’s “absence” and never being reachable on telephone, he stated, “What does that mean? Supriya Sule may not be reachable to you but she is at home.” Pawar’s cancellation of programmes and the truth that he was unreachable on telephone gave rise to hypothesis on Friday about his subsequent transfer amongst some political circles.
