Following the conclusion of the public rally at Karmala in Solapur district for NCP (SP) candidate Dhairyasheel Mohite Patil from the Madha Lok Sabha constituency, NCP SP faction chief Sharad Pawar left for the next rally. Meanwhile, in the remote areas, Rohit Pawar, Sharad Pawar’s grandson, was surrounded by a crowd, underscoring his widespread popularity among all age groups, especially the youth. Everyone was eager to shake hands and take selfies with the young Pawar, who is regarded as an emerging leader in state politics. 

mid-day caught up with Rohit Pawar in Karmala for a quick chat around a week ago. Rohit decided to stay loyal to his grandfather Sharad Pawar. As we drive through the narrow lanes of the village, we see people waiting to take selfies with the young Pawar. He ensures that they can click pictures while reminding them to make sure that they press the button in front of the ‘tutari’ symbol. Rohit also stopped his car near a farmer who was waving out to him. He asks the farmer about their crop produce and what problems they are facing due to water scarcity in the region.
