Ajit Pawar's statement: 'Zero rupee' land transaction, officials' wrongdoing will be investigated; Opposition to be targeted
Pune, November 8, 2025 (Special Correspondent): A land transaction case is currently creating a stir in Maharashtra politics. Although the opposition has strongly attacked this transaction related to the company of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's son Parth Pawar, Ajit Pawar today clearly stated that this transaction was completely 'zero rupees' and there was no financial exchange in it. "How did such a transaction happen without paying a single rupee? An inquiry will be conducted to find out who was the wrong government official," Pawar said, announcing a thorough investigation into the matter. This statement has further heated the political atmosphere, and this case is becoming important in the backdrop of the elections.
The case began yesterday, when Parth Pawar's company announced a land transaction. However, this transaction was canceled within a few hours. Since this transaction involved government land and there was no financial transaction, suspicion arose. Speaking to the media during his visit to Pune today, Ajit Pawar gave a detailed account of the case for the first time. "I had no knowledge of this transaction. Those who went to the registration office and signed have been booked. This is a complete fraud," Pawar said.
The real face of the transaction: Not a single rupee was exchanged
According to Ajit Pawar, although this transaction was done on paper, no one actually got possession of the land. "The officials should have been vigilant so that such transactions of government land do not happen. However, there is a mistake somewhere here. Even though not a single rupee was paid, how did the registration happen? An inquiry is required," he said. Responding to a question from reporters, Pawar clarified that no investment was made in this case. "Although it seems like such a big investment, in reality it was a transaction of zero rupees. An inquiry will be conducted to find out how the other party (opposition) did this. Who was deceived, who deceived, it will come to light," he said.
Pawar also announced that a special committee will be appointed to investigate the matter. "Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has also said this. A team led by Vikas Kharge will investigate thoroughly. I have instructed the administration to ensure that the state's tax revenue does not sink," he said. Apart from this, Pawar gave clear instructions to the officials, "Take action against those who violate the rules, whether they are my close or distant relatives. Do not be afraid of any pressure." Pawar, who was busy in Mumbai till last night, arrived in Pune this morning and said that he would meet Parth Pawar.
'Khat-Pani' to the opposition: This is how the election period works
Although the opposition criticized Ajit Pawar and the Mahayuti government over this matter, Pawar made a surprising comment. "During the election period, the opposition received such news that it was their job to add fertilizer and water to it. Let the investigation be done once, the truth will come out," Pawar replied to the opposition's allegations. This statement has sparked a debate in political circles. Political observers believe that this case could be troublesome for the grand alliance, especially in the backdrop of the assembly elections.
Background: Parth Pawar's company and land deal
Yesterday, information emerged that Parth Pawar's company had made a deal to set up a project on a government land near Pune. However, suspicions were raised after the deal was cancelled and no payment was made. Although the documents at the registration office were signed, the actual transaction had not been completed. Pawar indicated that the role of local officials in this case was suspicious. "Precautions should be taken to prevent such transactions. This should not happen again in the future," he said.
After the investigation into this case, Ajit Pawar himself announced that he would hold a press conference and give detailed information. "The truth will not be hidden. The government is obsessed with transparency," he assured.
Political implications: A blow to the grand alliance?
This case is likely to take a new turn in Maharashtra politics. Although Ajit Pawar is a leader of the Nationalist Congress Party, the opposition is targeting him for joining the grand alliance. Although Parth Pawar is independently active in politics, the case has become sensitive due to his father's political legacy. Pawar is expected to receive support from Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) and BJP, but attacks from Congress and NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) are likely to intensify.
The case has sparked debate in the political circles of Pune. Even after Ajit Pawar's explanation, the demand for an inquiry has increased. "It is everyone's duty to follow the rules. There is a lot to learn from this case," say local political leaders.
Although Ajit Pawar's statement has given a new twist to the case, an inquiry is necessary to bring out the full truth. The citizens of the state expect transparent governance and it is believed that this case will be a reflection of that. The government has assured that more light will be shed on this case in the next few days.
