controversies:

There are allegations that as Water Resources Minister, he left no stone unturned in helping in the development of Lavasa, with the project being promoted as “Sharad Pawar’s vision”. Maharashtra Krishna Valley Development Corporation (MKVDC) leased 141.15 hectares (348.8 acres) of land to Lavasa in August 2002, which included part of the Warsgaon Dam reservoir. The lease between MKVDC and Lavasa was executed at rates well below the market rate.

He told the Election Commission of India in 2004 that at that time he had financial assets worth more than Rs 3 crore. In September 2012, allegations were made that Rs 70,000 crore had been embezzled. These allegations were made by Maharashtrian bureaucrat Vijay Pandhare, and anti-corruption activist Anjali Damania demanded Pawar’s resignation from the ministerial post. However, the allegations were not proven and Ajit was reinstated as the Deputy CM of Maharashtra.

On 7 April 2013, Pawar’s statement in a speech in Indapur sparked controversy due to its perceived insensitivity. In response to a 55-day fast by activists protesting the inability of the Maharashtra government to provide water during the drought, he asked whether they should “urinate in the dam” to make up for the water shortage. Following a public outcry against his statement, he publicly apologized, saying that the comment was “the biggest mistake of [his] life”.
