In a fervent appeal to the electorate of Baramati, Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar rallied support for his wife's bid in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, urging voters to consider a shift in allegiance within the Pawar family. The contest in Baramati is intriguingly familial, as Ajit Pawar's spouse, Sunetra, stands as the Nationalist Congress Party's (NCP) candidate, squaring off against her sister-in-law and incumbent Lok Sabha MP, Supriya Sule, the daughter of political stalwart Sharad Pawar.
Addressing a gathering of party faithful in Baramati, Ajit Pawar invoked the shared history between the constituency and the Pawar dynasty, prompting reflection on the upcoming electoral choice. With a lineage of political representation spanning generations, Ajit Pawar urged constituents to embrace the continuity by endorsing another Pawar, his wife Sunetra, in this electoral cycle.
Highlighting the family's electoral legacy, Ajit Pawar reminisced about previous Lok Sabha elections where Baramati had elected representatives from within the Pawar clan, ranging from himself to his father, and subsequently, his niece. Proposing Sunetra Pawar as the next incumbent, Ajit Pawar assured voters that such a choice would maintain the familial equilibrium while accommodating new dynamics.
In a veiled dig at relatives aligning against him, Ajit Pawar expressed skepticism over their sudden activism, questioning their commitment during his previous campaigns. Asserting his dominance within the political landscape, Ajit Pawar warned detractors of potential repercussions should he choose to divulge more candidly.
With elections for Maharashtra's 48 Lok Sabha seats underway in five phases, culminating in polling in Baramati on May 7, Ajit Pawar's rallying cry seeks to sway the electorate while underscoring the enduring influence of the Pawar family in regional politics.
