Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar stirred controversy on the campaign trail for the local elections, appearing to warn voters, saying that he would release funds he had promised only if all of his party\u2019s candidates were elected.<\/p>\n

While addressing a rally for the Nagar Panchayat elections at Malegaon in Baramati tehsil on Friday, Pawar, who also holds the Finance portfolio, said the party had fielded 18 candidates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Centre and the state have many schemes. The Prime Minister, chief minister and both deputy chief ministers have worked on these together. If all of us work together and implement these schemes properly, we can ensure development for Malegaon,” Pawar said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will ensure there is no shortage of funds if you elect all 18 NCP candidates. If you elect all of them, I will fulfil whatever I have promised. But if you \u2018cut\u2019 my candidates, I will also \u201ccut” (the funds). You have the power to vote, and I have the power to release funds. Now decide what you want to do,” he said.<\/p>\n

Hitting out at the deputy chief minister\u2019s remarks, the opposition questioned why the Election Commission has yet to take any action.<\/p>\n

\u201cFunds are given from the taxes paid by the common people and not from Ajit Pawar\u2019s house. If a leader like Pawar is threatening voters, what is the Election Commission doing?” Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasheb BT) leader Ambadas Danve was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.<\/p>\n

Elections for Nagar Panchayats will be held on December 2.<\/p>\n

However, this isn\u2019t the first time Pawar has courted controversy with his remarks. In January, during a public meeting in his Baramati Assembly constituency, he was presented with memoranda outlining various demands.<\/p>\n

Pawar had then said, \u201cYou have voted for me, but that doesn\u2019t mean you own me.”<\/p>\n
