Govt doing nothing for common man: Rohit Pawar justifies Fadnavis-Aurangzeb comparison

Mumbai, March 19: NCP (Sharad Pawar) MLA Rohit Pawar on Wednesday defended the comparison of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to Mughal ruler Aurangzeb, stating that their governing styles bear similarities.
Amid the ongoing demand for the removal of Aurangzeb’s grave, the opposition in Maharashtra has intensified its attacks on the government, drawing parallels between the Mughal emperor’s rule and Fadnavis’s leadership.
Speaking to media, Pawar explained, “Aurangzeb’s governance favoured the powerful, whereas Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj believed in uplifting society without any discrimination — a philosophy we (NCP-SP) follow.”
He further argued that the current administration prioritises contractors over common people.
“If we compare governing styles, this government appears to be only for contractors and is doing nothing for the common man. That is why, in terms of style, this government can be compared to Aurangzeb’s rule,” he said.
Pawar also strongly condemned the recent violence in Nagpur, calling it a “government-sponsored” incident.
He pointed out that both the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister had acknowledged the violence as a pre-planned event, which, according to him, suggests an intelligence failure.
“If such incidents keep happening and people lose their lives, who will be held responsible? If it wasn’t an intelligence failure and the violence still occurred, then it was government-sponsored,” Pawar said.
He demanded the government clarify whether the unrest was due to a lapse in intelligence or not. “Anyone involved in stone-pelting or contributing to violence in any way should be identified and jailed,” he added.
The NCP-SP leader further alleged that the Nagpur violence was orchestrated to divert public attention from pressing issues affecting ordinary citizens.
“Farmers are struggling, unemployed youth face uncertainty, and women’s safety remains a concern, yet no one is addressing these issues. The government is doing nothing for them. Now, public resentment is growing. To divert attention from these real problems, they raised the Aurangzeb and Chhatrapati Shivaji issue out of nowhere, and then the violence followed,” he said.

Mumbai: Mumbai Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi said that late BJP Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had supported the independence of Palestine and opposed the oppression and atrocities on it, but today the country is pro-Israel. He supported Iran on the situation of war between Israel and Iran and prayed for Iran and said that Allah should give it success in the field of working against oppression. This is what I pray for. Saluting the courage and support of Iranian religious leader and leader Ayatollah Khomeini, Abu Asim Azmi said that Iran stands against oppression, so we pray for it. Azmi said that just as Indian citizens have been brought to India from Iran, in the same way the Indian victims of war in Israel should also be brought back to their homeland. Azmi also welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to give 15 per cent reservation to Muslims in housing societies and said that if 15 per cent reservation is given in housing societies, there is nothing wrong in it. Here everyone has the right and privilege of equal justice.
