Amid ongoing Lok Sabha elections 2024, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has slammed NCP-Sharadchandra Pawar nominee Amol Kolhe for "wasting five years as an MP" and urged voters to support Shivajirao Adhalrao, the MahaYuti candidate for Shirur Lok Sabha seat, to ensure progress, reported news agency IANS.

"Kolhe was only busy shooting and wasted five years. In order to address pending issues like roads, railways, and dams, assistance from the Centre and state government is required. Therefore, elect a person who can actually work," Pawar said at a Lok Sabha elections 2024 campaign meeting in Ghodegaon of Shirur Lok Sabha seat on Wednesday, reported IANS.
