Ajit Pawar advocates for electing Sharad Pawar’s daughter-in-law from Baramati

Ajit Pawar’s wife, Sunetra, is contesting as the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) candidate in the Baramati Lok Sabha seat in Pune district. Her opponent is her sister-in-law and sitting Lok Sabha MP, Supriya Sule, who is the daughter of Sharad Pawar, the leader of the NCP. Baramati is the home turf of the Pawar family, and Ajit Pawar is an MLA from this constituency.

During a party workers’ program in Baramati, Ajit Pawar urged the people to support Sunetra, emphasizing that by voting for her, they wouldn’t be breaking the tradition of supporting the family. He reminded the audience of previous elections where they had voted for different family members and appealed for their support for Sunetra in the upcoming election. Ajit Pawar expressed his disappointment with certain family members for not actively supporting him in past elections, hinting at a rift within the family.

He cautioned his family detractors not to provoke him to speak openly, suggesting that it would create difficulties for them in public. The Deputy CM’s statements were made in the context of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra, which will be held in five phases from April 19 to May 20, with polling in Baramati scheduled for May 7. *(This passage has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.
