Targeting of leaders within the two divisions of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)- the Ajit Pawar faction and Sharad Pawar faction, continues amidst the heated political atmosphere ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. Taking a dig on his former colleague Dr Amol Kolhe, Ajit Pawar on Monday said that politics was never Kolhe`s forte as the actor had offered his resignation after been elected.

"Political parties field celebrities in elections if they find opposing candidates undefeatable," Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said in Shirur, Pune district while addressing a farmer`s meet. An actor by profession, Amol Kolhe, is a sitting MP from NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) from Shirur constituency.
