The upcoming Lok Sabha election is poised to be a highly anticipated showdown in Maharashtra’s Baramati. There’s a high possibility of a head-to-head contest within the Pawar family in the election. On Friday, without naming names, deputy chief minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Ajit Pawar made an emotional appeal to his constituents to elect a “first timer” who is though surrounded by “experienced people.” Ajit Pawar’s speech fuelled speculation that the party will field his wife Sunetra Pawar against his cousin, Supriya Sule, who is the incumbent Baramati MP.
Sunetra Pawar has already begun a publicity campaign in the Baramati constituency and is likely to be pitted against sitting Supriya Sule, the daughter of seasoned leader Sharad Pawar. Supriya Sule has represented the Baramati constituency for three consecutive terms since 2009 and was Rajya Sabha member before that from 2006 to 2009.
