Rohit began his political career by contesting and winning the Pune Zilla Parishad elections from the Shirsuphal-Gunawadi constituency in Baramati taluka, Pune, in 2017.[10] During the 2019 Indian General Elections, he actively campaigned for the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), leveraging his family's political influence and his grassroots connections.[11]

In October 2019, Pawar was elected to the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly from the Karjat-Jamkhed constituency, defeating the incumbent BJP candidate and cabinet minister Ram Shinde with a significant margin of 135,824 votes.[12] This victory marked a significant political milestone, as the constituency had been a BJP stronghold for 25 years.[13]

As an MLA, Pawar has focused on addressing the socio-economic issues of his constituency. He established the Karjat-Jamkhed Integrated Development Foundation (KJIDF) to tackle local development challenges and improve the quality of life for residents.[14] Additionally, he founded the Srujan Foundation, which organizes various events and competitions to engage and empower the youth.[15]

Pawar has been actively involved in campaigning for various elections, including the Vidhan Sabha, Zilla Parishad, and Panchayat elections, over the past few years.[16] His efforts have helped raise the profile of the Karjat-Jamkhed constituency on the socio-political map of Maharashtra.[17]

In addition to his legislative work, Pawar has been considered a potential contender for leadership roles within the NCP, given his close relationship with his granduncle, Sharad Pawar, and his growing influence within the party.

The league aims to promote cricket at the grassroots level in Maharashtra.[23]

During Pawar's tenure, the MCA has also entered into partnerships to improve facilities and support young cricketers in the state. In November 2023, the association announced a five-year deal with the Punit Balan Group and Manikchand Oxyrich as its main partners, worth Rs. five crore per season.
