In a fresh shock to the beleaguered Nationalist Congress Party, former two-time Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Friday quit as MLA from Baramati, party sources said here. No reason is given for the abrupt step by Pawar who was named along with his uncle and NCP President Sharad Pawar, besides other political leaders and officials by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the alleged Rs 25,000-crore Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank Ltd. scam on Sep. 24.
