Ajit Pawar Biography

Ajit Pawar is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on July 22, 1959 in Deolali Pravara, Deolali Pravara, India. Ajit Anantrao Pawar was born on 22 July 1959 at his grandfather’s place in Deolali Pravara, Ahmednagar district. He completed his schooling in Deolali, Pravara. He hails from the village of Katevadi in Baramati Taluka, Pune district. He is the Nephew of the Nationalist Congress Party President, Sharad Pawar.

There are allegations that as the minister for water resources he spared no efforts to help in the development of Lavasa, a project touted as a “vision of Sharad Pawar”. The Maharashtra Krishna Valley Development Corporation (MKVDC) leased 141.15 ha (348.8 acres) to Lavasa in August 2002, which included part of Warasgaon dam reservoir. The lease between MKVDC and Lavasa was executed at rates far below the market rate.

In September 2012, there were accusations that there had been misappropriation of funds amounting to Rs. 70,000 Crores (about $13 billion). These allegations were made by a Maharashtra bureaucrat, Vijay Pandhare, and caused Anjali Damani to request Pawar’s resignation as a minister. However, the allegations were not proved and hence he was reinstated as the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.

On 7 April 2013, Ajit Pawar in an attempt at being comical about his inability to bring waters to the dams, made a controversial statement with regards to an activist fasting for 55 days in Maharashtra against the current drought crisis. He quipped at a function at Indapur near Pune “If there is no water in the dam … Should we urinate into it?,” kicked off controversy in a state reeling under severe drought. Later, due to the political and media pressure, he apologized for the same and admitted his off the cuff comment was the biggest mistake of his life.

Later he became minister of state for Soil Conservation, Power and Planning (November 1992 – February 1993) when Sharad Pawar returned to the state as chief minister. When the Indian National Congress-NCP coalition came into power in 1999, Pawar was promoted to cabinet minister, firstly in the Irrigation Department (October 1999 – December 2003) in Vilasrao Deshmukh’s government. He was given additional charge of the Rural Development Department (December 2003 – October 2004) in Sushilkumar Shinde’s government. When Congress-NCP combination returned to power in 2004, he retained the Water Resources Ministry in Deshmukh’s government and later in Ashok Chavan’s government. He also became the Guardian minister for Pune district in 2004 and held the post until the Congress – NCP coalition lost power in 2014.
