Villagers say Ajit Pawar did not visit families of those killed in firing

Emotions ran high against Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar yesterday morning as he paid a quick visit to Baur -- the scene of a farmer agitation that saw deaths dues to police firing -- and left for Mumbai without meeting the families of the deceased.

Those who lost their near and dear ones in Tuesday's police firing were angry with Pawar for not bothering to pay a condolence visit. For relatives of Kanta Thakar, a woman from Yelse village, the state government was solely responsible for her death.
