Nationalist Congress Party (SP) leader Supriya Sule said on Friday that she contested the Baramati Lok Sabha election like a "fakir" and was not "100 per cent" sure of victory.
Speaking to CNN-News 18 channel, the Baramati MP said it is "probably unlikely" that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) will project a chief ministerial face for the Maharashtra Assembly polls due in November.
Sule, a working president of the NCP (SP)-which is an essential constituent of the MVA-said that the alliance would make the right person the CM after polls.
She said on the high-stakes contest in Baramati against her sister-in-law Sunetra Pawar: "In my own election, I was 100 per cent not sure that I am going to make it because I was fighting against all odds." Sule said her party and its symbol were taken away from her, referring to the split in the NCP.
"I fought like a fakir," Sule said.
Sule defeated Pawar for the fourth time in a row to be returned to the Baramati Lok Sabha seat.
