Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MP Supriya Sule participated in the Baramati Assembly by-election, casting her vote on Thursday. The by-election follows the tragic demise of Ajit Pawar in a plane crash on January 28, leaving his seat vacant.
Sunetra Pawar, wife of the late Ajit Pawar and Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister, is contesting for the seat under the NCP banner. Also, Rohit Pawar, another key figure from the Pawar family, paid homage to his uncle by casting his vote at a local polling station.
In a significant twist, NCP supremo Sharad Pawar will abstain from voting due to health issues, marking a poignant moment for the family and their supporters. The by-election is underscored by the tragic circumstances of Ajit Pawar's death and is seen as both a political and emotional event for the constituency.
