Maharashtra Elections Sharad Pawar Bags Checked By Poll Officials In Baramati


NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar’s bags were checked in Maharashtra’s Pune district on Sunday morning, his associate said, just days ahead of the November 20 elections in the state. Pawar was on way to attend a poll rally in Solapur when his bags were checked at Baramati helipad. The model of code of conduct is enforced in the state for the assembly elections.

“While Pawar saheb was on his way to the Karmala poll rally in Solapur, his bags were checked at the Baramati helipad. After the due checking, he boarded the chopper and proceeded for the rally,” the associate said.

Earlier, a controversy erupted after Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray’s bags were checked. Thackeray filmed his bags being inspected and shared the video of it. On Saturday, poll authorities checked the bag of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in the Amravati district where he arrived for a rally.

Former state minister and Congress’ Teosa MLA Yashomati Thakur questioned the action of the poll authorities and asked why they were not checking the bags of PM Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah or Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Later, videos surfaced on social media showing bags of Shah, CM Shinde, his deputies Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar being checked by poll authorities.
