Supriya Sule voices her disapproval to have the symbol of the party removed. She feels it was unjust to Sharad Pawar, the founder of the party who had been its stalwart for 25 years, to have the symbol of the NCP party removed.

Politics is service, not a family feud. It’s about the nation, the state, the district, the people. This election is about serving the country, not personal relationships.

00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:04 What does this vote come for you?
00:06 Every election has a thought.
00:08 Differentiate. Because for me, politics is about serving the nation, state, district, and our people.
00:17 So all elections are the same for me.
00:19 But this time, your political opponent is from within the family.
00:23 Does that make a difference in your fight?
00:26 No, it's a joy.
00:27 Because I'm not fighting the family at all.
00:29 I've never fought in my life.
00:30 I've never asked the family.
00:32 Right.
00:33 But is it also somewhere an emotional issue?
00:36 I heard you invoking that you are the daughter of Sharad Pawar, you are the granddaughter of Sharda Bai.
00:43 Does that become important? Because this is also an insider versus outsider battle.
00:48 Not at all.
00:49 I've always said this in all my speeches.
00:51 It's not so important.
00:52 Is this emotional election for you?
00:55 Not at all. I don't mix my professional life with my emotions.
00:59 Because if you have to take responsibility, you can't be trapped in your emotions.
01:04 For me, it's country first, then the state, then the party, and then my family.
01:09 But also, the opposition faction is saying that they are circulating a clip which says that
01:17 these are from your past speeches where you said the problem that persists in Baramati about water issues and drought.
01:26 Ajit Dada is the only one who can resolve it. That's what you've said in the past.
01:30 I'm not saying anything different. I've never criticized him since he has left Awagat Awagat.
01:35 I've maintained completely dignity and self-respect.
01:38 Right. Yeah.
01:39 I've never criticized because I haven't forgotten that we worked together so closely.
01:44 So it actually would reflect on me if I criticized him.
01:48 We've worked together. There are enough clips where he's praised my work.
01:51 It's just that I don't make it right.
01:53 Right. Okay. But this election is also not just about...
01:57 This is what everyone is saying as well at a higher level, right?
02:00 That this is not just about an election about issues.
02:03 And your question is Ajit Pawar contestant's question.
02:06 Who is the voice? The question is who is the voice who is going to vote today?
02:11 Right. But also, this is not just a regular routine election that comes every five years.
02:20 This is an election which is being pitched as the election of ideological battles.
02:25 Every election is about ideological battles.
02:28 Right. Is it also challenging for you that this time you don't have the traditional symbol of NCP and...
02:38 What's the point of crying over spilt milk and waste time?
02:41 Okay.
02:42 We need to move on in life. We have to accept the situation and get on with it.
02:45 Right.
02:46 And I know it's injustice because this party was formed by Sharath Pawar.
02:49 Right.
02:50 He led it from the front for 25 years.
02:52 And complete injustice done to him and to Uddhav Thackeray.
02:55 Right.
02:56 The way both the parties were taken away from the founders or the government was supposed to be.
03:00 Right. But is that a challenge for you when you go around to the voters and remind them...
03:04 Everybody's life has challenges.
03:06 Right. Okay. So it's just a part of your...
03:09 It's a part... What can you do?
03:11 I don't cry over spilt milk.
03:12 Okay.
03:13 You have to accept the situation and get on with it.
03:15 Right.
03:16 And how important would it be also to...
03:19 Because the Baramati seat would also reinforce NCP's dominance, right?
03:24 Which has been... The seat has been with your family for so long.
03:28 And this time, because of the changes that have taken place within the party name and the symbol,
03:34 it would be also important to show like who is the real NCP.
03:39 The real NCP is Sharath Pawar.
03:41 Because you go anywhere from Kashmir to Kanyakumari.
03:44 NCP and Baramati is actually what Sharath Pawar is all about and vice versa.
03:49 You go to Kashmir and you say I'm from Baramati, the instant reaction is Sharath Pawar.
03:54 Right.
03:55 Nirvachan Kshetra se aaye.
03:56 Right.
03:57 So you can't differentiate. You can't separate NCP, Sharath Pawar and Baramati from each other.
04:02 Even if it is with the other Pawar, the party name and the symbol.
04:05 Because it was all started. Ajit Pawar and Aaya Parivarwar.
04:10 Right.
04:11 Ajit Pawar, Sunetra Pawar, Supriya Surya Parivarwar. Who started it?
04:16 Sharath Pawar.
04:17 Right.
04:19 And you are continuing the legacy of Mr. Pawar?
04:22 Not at all.
04:23 Nobody. Legacy is not something that you inherit. These are not shares of Mr. Pawar.
04:28 Right.
04:29 This is public life.
04:30 When Mr. Pawar, when they talk about him, they...
04:35 Vaidi Chavan was taken forward by Sharath Pawar and then he later got back.
04:41 But till today, who is the son of Vaidi Chavan? It's only one named Sharath Pawar.
04:46 So in public life, it doesn't have to be blood relation.
04:49 Right.
04:50 Because that is also what is being said, no? In this election, we hear a lot of these things about...
04:56 There are allegations that your faction is raising this point of who is the real insider
05:02 and Sunetra Pawar is an outsider and you are the real Pawar.
05:06 Ajit Pawar has said hundreds of things against me personally.
05:09 Have I even raised it once? I've maintained a dignified silence and I choose to do that.
05:15 Okay.
05:16 Because I feel this is not about my relationship with Ajit Pawar.
05:20 Does the price rise?
05:22 Dal sasti hogi Ajit Pawar aur mere rishte chahiye?
05:25 Right.
05:26 Is the corruption going to go down?
05:29 Or are your children going to get jobs by what Ajit Pawar has announced?
05:33 This election is not about Ajit Pawar's and mine or Sharath Pawar's and Ajit Pawar's relationship.
05:39 Kej ki senior ke liye yeh election hai. This is about Sunetra Pawar.
05:43 Unemployment, price rise, agrarian crisis.
05:50 Are farmers' prospects going to go?
05:52 If you know dining room conversations of the Pawar family, if the agrarian crisis is going to go down,
05:58 doodh ko bhav milne wala hai, soya bhin ko bhav milne wala hai, ki pyaz ko milne wala hai.
06:02 So this is deflecting from the real responsibility of the government.
06:06 Government is shying away or running away from the real issues.
06:10 What would you, what is, like you've been here for three terms and you're contesting for the fourth.
06:17 What are the issues or areas that you still wish to address in your fourth term?
06:24 Fourth term, water, climate change, pollution.
06:28 Very big issues. They're all integrated.
06:31 Our education, our future, our agriculture, as well as our healthcare.
06:36 All is connected to the three four issues.
06:38 Right.
06:39 So we're working very hard to focus on our three issues in the next term.
06:43 (explosion)
