NCP MLA Amol Mitkari claims that 'Ajit Era' will begin in Maha

Mumbai, Dec 5 (UNI) Ajit Pawar-led NCP MLA Amol Mitkari claimed here on Friday that the statement of senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan that a Marathi man could become the Prime Minister of India, due to the revelations of the Jeffrey Epstein files, should be taken "very seriously".
"The statement cannot be taken lightly. An Ajit 'Parv' (era) will arrive in Maharashtra soon. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has been working as an energetic minister in the Mahayuti government for the past year. The concept of the Laadki Bahin Yojana was Ajit Dada's and he also implemented it. Due to this, the Mahayuti won the assembly elections," NCP MLA Amol Mitkari said.
"Ajit Pawar is a hard working leader. He is never angry or upset with the government. The opposition accuses him yet Ajit Pawar works without being disturbed at all. He continues to work among the people, serves the people and strengthens the grand Mahayuti alliance.
