In a significant development, the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Mumbai, has attached assets of a sugar mill linked to Sharad Pawar’s grand-nephew Rohit Pawar while investigating a money laundering case connected to the MSC bank scam. Reacting to the attachment, Rohit Pawar tweeted, “I read the tweet about the action taken by ED against my company and thought, should I join BJP now?”

"However, the BJP should remember this: the bowers and weepers have already gone to them. Now, only the fighters remain, and we are determined to fight until the end and emerge victorious! Those who dare to dream of bringing a self-respecting Marathi man like myself to his knees should only dream on! This action also signals that the code of conduct will be enforced within the next two to three days," he added.
