'You've Voted For Me, Doesn't Mean You're My Boss,' Ajit Pawar Tells Public in Baramati

Baramati: Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Ajit Pawar sparked a row after he told the public that they were not his 'boss' just because they'd voted for him.

Pawar remarked the same during a public gathering on Monday while receiving a memorandum amid his speech.

Addressing the crowd, Pawar quipped, “Just because you voted for me, it doesn’t mean you have become my boss or owner. Have you made me a farm labourer now?”

Pawar, who lost his cool after a large number of people gave him memorandums with various demands, told them they didn't 'own' him just because they voted for him. 

Addressing a public meeting in Baramati on Sunday, he also asked the people present if they had made him their servant 

"You have voted for me, but that doesn't mean you own me," the irate NCP leader said. 

Meanwhile, his cabinet colleague and Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule emphasised that people are of utmost importance since it is they who bring leaders to power. 

This is why the government will fulfil all promises, Bawankule asserted on Monday. (with PTI inputs)

Pawar's reaction has once again caught the attention of political analysts and has gained momentum.
