Ajit Pawar Says Might Stay Out Of Assembly Polls, Son May Take Over

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar is again making headlines with comments on Baramati -- the bastion of his undivided family. Months after his party lost the parliamentary constituency to his cousin Supriya Sule, Mr Pawar has now conceded it was a mistake to field his wife -- a comment that has seen multiple interpretations. Today, he spoke of finding a successor for the Baramati assembly constituency that he currently holds.

The 64 year old also hinted that he might not be contesting in the assembly elections due by the year-end. "I am not interested in that (contesting elections) as I have contested seven or eight elections." he told reporters.
