Fought LS poll like a ‘fakir’, was not sure of victory, Says Supriya Sule

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.

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.

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.
