Supriya Sule, the newly-appointed working president of the Nationalist Congress Party, on Sunday dismissed allegations that her appointment was solely due to her relationship to party supremo Sharad Pawar, asking her critics to assess her parliamentary performance before questioning her on “nepotism”.
Maintaining that she was proud to be the daughter of Pratibha and Sharad Pawar, Ms. Sule said that she would never run away from nepotism. “I can’t go away from nepotism because I was born in a family which is a political party… and I’m very proud to be Pratibha and Sharad Pawar’s daughter. Why should I run away from this? I have even said this in Parliament,” the Baramati MP said.
