Ajit Pawar Says Cousin Supriya Sule's Voice On Viral Bitcoin Clip, She Responds
NDTV
BJP's Sudhanshu Trivedi accused Supriya Sule and Nana Patole of using illegal bitcoin transactions to influence election results.
The Maharashtra government will order a probe and truth will come out, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said today when asked about allegations of bitcoin fraud against his cousin and Lok Sabha MP Supriya Sule. "An inquiry will be done and the truth will come in front of the people," Mr Pawar, who is contesting the Assembly polls from Baramati, said this morning.
"Whatever audio clip is being shown, I just know that I have worked with both of them. One of them is my sister and the other is someone with whom I have worked a lot. The audio clip has their voices, I can figure out from their tone. An inquiry will be done and everything will be clear," he added.
The remarks play out against the rivalry between the two camps of NCP -- one led by veteran politician and party founder Sharad Pawar and Ms Sule and the other by Ajit Pawar. An Ajit Pawar-led mutiny split the NCP in 2023, following which the junior Pawar joined the BJP-Shiv Sena government in the state. This election is also a fight between two factions of NCP to prove who has the people's support.
