Violating the code of conduct, Ajit Pawar, who once brought shame on himself after asking drought-afflicted farmers to pee in lakes to fill them, was seen campaigning in villages with water problems a day before election, alleged AAP candidate Suresh Khopde.

Khopde, contesting on an Aam Admi Party (AAP) ticket from Baramati constituency against Supriya Sule, filed a complaint at Wadgaon police station against Pawar yesterday, alleging that he violated the code of conduct by campaigning on the eve of elections, and threatened two drought-afflicted villages from the taluka, Murti and Masalwadi.

The complaint alleges that Pawar violated the code of conduct and put Opposition party worker behind bars by threatening them to vote for NCP. These are those 22 draught -stricken villages that strongly stand against National Congress Party for neglecting their water problems.
