Pawar family maintains Diwali tradition despite NCP split

The Pawar clan maintained their annual Diwali celebration gathering with NCP patriarch Sharad Pawar and his daughter, and Member of Parliament, Supriya Sule attending bhau beej festivities at Deputy Deputy Chief Minister and ‘rebel’ Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Ajit Pawar’s farmhouse in Katewadi in Baramati district.

The Pawar family, led by octogenarian Sharad Pawar, has congregated every year to celebrate Diwali. While the bhau beej programme usually takes place at Sharad Pawar’s Govindbaug residence in Baramati, this time it was held at his nephew’s residence in the nearby Katewadi village.

Present on the occasion were Mr. Ajit Pawar’s wife Sunetra Pawar, and their children Parth Pawar and Jay Pawar.
