Abstract

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Nationalist Congress Party President, Ajit Pawar, criticized the trend of film stars entering politics and then quitting. He mentioned several film stars who had contested elections and later resigned, including Rajesh Khanna, Dharmendra, Govinda, Shatrughan Sinha, and Amitabh Bachchan. Pawar questioned the connection of these "star politicians" to public life and their contribution to the people's issues. He also targeted Dr. Amol Kolhe, an acclaimed film and television actor and sitting Shirur MP, for refusing to align with him after the NCP split. Despite Pawar's remarks, Kolhe remained committed to raising the issues of his constituency and assured that his stand with Sharad Pawar's party would continue. Pawar is now searching for a suitable candidate to counter Kolhe and win the seat in the upcoming elections. [Extracted from the article]
