Addressing a Lok Sabha election meeting in Junnar for his party candidate, Pawar said Rahul Gandhi should rather be praised for hitting the ground to understand the plight of the common people braving weather conditions.
The prime minister should know that three generations of Rahul Gandhi whom he called a shehzada had served this country and sacrificed their lives, he said.
“Jawaharlal Nehru was jailed for 13 years before Independence. Later, he worked towards taking the country forward in all fields and ensured a rule of democracy. Rahul Gandhi’s grandmother, Indira Gandhi, worked tirelessly to eradicate poverty. She was assassinated.

He added that the three generations of Rahul Gandhi made a big sacrifice for the country but PM Modi dubs Rahul a shehzada.
“To understand the hardship of people, this shehzada took out a journey on foot (Bharat Jodo Yatra) from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, braving weather conditions. Instead of appreciating him, he is mocked as shehzada by the country’s prime minister,” Pawar added.
