Ajit Pawar threat video: AAP complains to EC
The complaint was lodged by AAP's Baramati candidate Suresh Khopde.
A blurry video recorded on a mobile phone showed Ajit Pawar threatening voters by saying: "We can clearly see on the voting machine which village has voted for whom. I hope you remember that it was I who bought water to the village."
"If you don't vote for us I will stop water supply to the village," Ait Pawar was recorded as saying.
Pertinently, there are thousands of sugarcane farmers at Baramati in Pune, who have to repeatedly face drought.
Baramati voted on Thursday in the fifth phase of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
