Supriya Sule meets Ajit Pawar's mother in Baramati

NCP (SP) Lok Sabha MP Supriya Sule on Saturday met Ajit Pawar's mother at the late leader's Katewadi residence in Pune's Baramati area, the visit coming amid preparations in Mumbai for the appointment of Sunetra Pawar as Maharashtra's first woman deputy chief minister. Sule met the deceased leader's mother Asha Pawar, fondly called 'Asha kaki'. Speaking to reporters after leaving the residence, Sule said, ''I had come to meet Kaki. I will be leaving for Delhi from Pune for the Budget Session of Parliament.'' When asked about Ajit Pawar's son Parth Pawar visiting Govindbaug, the Baramati residence of NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, earlier in the day, Sule said he had gone there to meet his grandparents. Incidentally, Sharad Pawar, addressing a press conference earlier, said he was not aware of Sunetra Pawar being sworn in as the state's Deputy CM. Parth Pawar had met the NCP (SP) supremo after this press conference. Ajit Pawar and four others died in a plane crash near Baramati airport on January 28.
