How much has Ajit Pawar's salary increased in 15 years? Bachchu Kadu's attack showing figures
Mumbai, May 6, 2025: A political controversy has erupted over the salary hike of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar. Prahar Janshakti Party leader Bachchu Kadu has launched a strong attack by presenting the figures of Ajit Pawar's salary hike in the last 15 years. Kadu has claimed that Ajit Pawar's salary has increased significantly while the common citizen and farmers are in financial crisis.
Bachchu Kadu told a press conference, "In 2009, Ajit Pawar's monthly salary was approximately Rs 60,000. However, by 2025, his salary has increased by about 300%. Today, his monthly salary and allowances together are more than Rs 2.5 lakh." Kadu also claimed that there has been a significant increase in the allowances of ministers. He raised the question, "Has the income of the common man increased so much? Then why are the salaries and facilities of the leaders increasing?"
Argument over statistics
According to the statistics presented by Kadu, Ajit Pawar's salary has increased by an average of 20% every year. This includes accommodation allowance, travel allowance and other facilities. Kadu alleged that, "The leaders who promised to solve the problems of farmers are focusing only on their own salary hike. This is cheating the people."
Ajit Pawar's reply
Ajit Pawar has reacted calmly to this criticism. He said, "Salary hike is part of the government's policies and it applies to all ministers. I have not asked for anything special for myself. Bachchu Kadu has presented the statistics incorrectly. Considering my work and responsibilities, this increase is logical." Pawar further said that his focus is on the development of Maharashtra and such criticism will not distract him.
Political implications
Bachchu Kadu's attack has once again exposed the internal differences within the Mahayuti government. Although Kadu's attack is an ally of the Mahayuti, he has criticized the government's policies in the past. According to political analysts, Kadu's attack may be an attempt to attract public attention in the wake of the upcoming local body elections.
Public reaction
There is a heated discussion on this issue on social media. Many have supported Kadu's criticism and compared it with the financial condition of ordinary citizens. One netizen wrote, "Farmers are drowning in debt, but the salaries and allowances of leaders keep increasing. What kind of equality is this?" While others supported Ajit Pawar and mentioned his development works.
This controversy is likely to intensify in the next few days. Bachchu Kadu has indicated that he will continue to speak aggressively on the government's policies.
