The former Chief Minister of Maharashtra and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader, Ajit Pawar, hit out at his detractors, alleging that a deliberate attempt was being made to create an atmosphere of doubt in the State.
Criticising the ‘season of exposes’, Mr. Pawar stated that while the one to allege do not have to show any proof, the ones being alleged suffer the most.
“There is a trend to hold press conferences and not have any valid proof,” he stated, speaking at the State level NCP meet here on Sunday.
Defending the irrigation department’s decision to introduce lift irrigation in select regions in the State, he said 2,000 acres of land had been brought under irrigation. Hitting out at whistleblower Vijay Pandhare, who had written to Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan against the scheme, Mr. Pawar questioned, “Is Mr. Pandhare always right? Are all the ministers wrong?”

Ajit Pawar defense does not hold water like the irrigation projects
executed under his ministry. If he terms the scan as 'season of
exposes' - he is under 'season of denials'. The details and data
available in public domain does not makes it easy for him to get away
with two words 'no proof'.
2000 acres irrigated with 70000 crores?!
