Sunetra Pawar, Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister, urged Baramati voters to participate in the assembly seat bypoll as a tribute to her late husband, Ajit Pawar. Her call comes amid an emotional atmosphere following Ajit Pawar's death in a tragic air crash.
The by-election, necessitated by the vacancy left by Ajit Pawar, sees 23 candidates, including Sunetra, vying for the position. The Pawar family, historically supported by Baramati, sees this election as a moment of homage to the late NCP leader, fondly known as 'Dada.'
Despite opposition parties withdrawing candidates to honor Ajit Pawar's legacy, Sunetra faces no contest from the rival Maha Vikas Aghadi. With her new role, she must secure a legislative seat within six months. Her appeal to the electorate underscores the family's continuing influence in the region.
