NCP chief Sharad Pawar is engaged in a "Beti Bachao" (save the girl child) mission for his daughter Supriya Sule, the party's Baramati MP and candidate, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said Saturday.
Fadnavis was addressing a public rally in Khadakwasla area of the constituency in support of BJP candidate Kanchan Kul.
Lauding Kul for putting up a strong challenge before Sule, the chief minister took a dig at Pawar, saying he "took one thing from Prime Minister Narendra Modi".
"Modi gave the slogan Rs Beti Bachao...And Pawar is doing the same thing in Baramati (trying to save his daughter from defeat)," he said.
Sule too aped one of Modi's slogans, Fadnavis further said.
