[edit] Introduction

Ajitdada "Ajit" Pawar is the youngest Minister in the Vilasrao Deshmukh Government. He is a Maratha strongman and Sharad Pawar's nephew. That by no means was enough for him to nurture a successful political career. Ajit Pawar had to go through the travails and tribulations of public life like any ordinary politician.

Pawar's maiden foray into the electoral areas was in 1982. He was in the foray as a candidate for a sugar co-operative body election which he won by a good margin. He was elected MLA from Baramati later. In 1991 Pawar was elected MP from the constituency once represented by Sharad Pawar. He returned to state politics again with a bang. He was re-elected as MLA from Baramati and inducted into the Sudhakar Naik Government.

Ajit Pawar has held a wide variety of posts in a number of cooperative institution with distinction. Pawar was the chairman of the Pune District Cooperative Bank for 16 years. It merits attention that when he took over, the deposits were just Rs 300 crore. When he relinquished office this had increased to an astronomical figure of Rs 160000 crore. As the countdown for an alternative, viable secular government gained momentum in the post-poll scenario, Pawar played a vital role in bridging the communication gap between the Congress and NCP. He still insists on the point that both the Congress parties should sink their differences to settle down to business in earnest in the larger interest of the state. In an exclusive interview with this correspondent, Pawar said the NCP would not destabilise the newly formed DF Government to uphold the sanctity of the people's mandate.

Pawar is known as a trusted leader of thousands of activists from Maharashtra. He has achieved this stature because of his thoughts actions and achievements. Therefore, workers from every corner of the state do not hesitate to carry their grievance to Ajitdada wherever he is. He is their trusted guide, he is their inspiration.

One essential feature of Pawar's style of work is that whatever be the development activity he pours his heart into it. Only a leader who has the political willpower to resolve the problem of regional imbalance of Maharashtra with a penchant for natural justice. Hon. Da da obviously has such political will power. Hence his responsibility is magnified multifold and he certainly has necessary ability and experience to handle this responsibility.

Every action by Pawar is backed by firm conviction, definite approach, proper planning, imaginative vision and responsible administration. The famous line of Shree Samarth Ramdas, "Bole Taisa Chale" (Action as per words) applies to Dada perfectly. After the late Chief Minister of Maharashtra, vasantdada Patil, only shri. Pawar has had the honour of being addressed as "Dada". This honor is a testament to his popularity among the population. He has endeavoured himself to the common man because of his achievements rather than being Saheb's nephew or a minister.
