Ajit Pawar becomes the butt of jokes on Twitter as he begins fast to repent his 'urine remarks'

Micro blogging site Twitter overflowed with sarcastic and funny comments on Sunday as Ajit Pawar started the first day of his fast to repent his urine remarks.

Amid the unrelenting clamour for Pawar's resignation over his controversial remark on drought, the Maharashtra deputy chief minister began his fast near the ‘samadhi’ of Maharashtra leader Yashwantrao Chavan in Karad of Sangli district. Here are some of the tweets:

I believe Ajit Pawar is fasting? Good...he can break his fast with a glass of Urinetini...his version of a dirty martini!

Opposition BJP and Shiv Sena have been gunning for Pawar over his crass "urinating-in-the-dam" statement over water scarcity being faced by farmers of drought-hit Maharashtra despite his repeated apologies and admission that it was "one of the biggest mistakes in my political life."

Even Sharad Pawar sought to cool down tempers by apologising on his nephew's behalf.

NCP chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday said the matter should have ended with an apology by the Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister.

"I feel, the matter should have ended with the apology," Pawar told reporters.

"It was good that Ajit Pawar apologised. Political leaders should take precautions while making public comments," he said, adding "Ajit Pawar should choose his language carefully."

Ajit Pawar had resigned in September last year after media reports accused him of being involved in an alleged multi-crore irrigation scam in Vidarbha region when he held the irrigation portfolio between 1999 and 2009. He was, however, reinstated barely 10 weeks later after a white paper brought by the government gave him a clean chit.
