What's Happening? Video Goes Viral 🔥

A video capturing Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in a tense exchange with IPS officer Anjana Krishna has caught widespread attention. The officer was pursuing action against illegal "murrum" soil excavation in Solapur’s Kurdu village. In the clip, Pawar is heard ordering her to stop, saying: "I am the deputy chief minister... stop it." He later accuses her of being too "daring" and even threatens action.


Political Interference or Misunderstanding? 🤔

 

As the video circulates, the opposition accuses Ajit Pawar of political interference. It is alleged that he called to halt the IPS-led enforcement simply because an NCP member was involved. Critics have raised concerns over the misuse of authority.


What NCP Says: Trying to Pacify Tensions

 

NCP MP Sunil Tatkare has defended Pawar, emphasizing that he merely scolded the officer to calm party workers—not to stop the enforcement. According to Tatkare, Ajit Pawar advocates the law and doesn’t support illegal acts.
