"Not Afraid Of Such Guests": Sharad Pawar On Raids Targeting Ajit Pawar

Former Union Minister Sharad Pawar today slammed the BJP over the raids targeting nephew Ajit Pawar in what he described as the "misuse of power".

"Some government guests were sent yesterday at Ajit Pawar's home. The guests came and went. We are not afraid of such guests," Mr Pawar, one of the tallest leaders in Maharashtra politics, said at an event.

"You can recall how I was sent a notice by the Enforcement Directorate before the state elections... even though I had never taken a loan from the bank and I had nothing to do with it. They gave me a notice and Maharashtra taught them a lesson, the 80-year-old leader said, taking a potshot at the BJP.
