Uncle and nephew face to face from Baramati
Ahead of the voting to be held on November 20 in Baramati, the electoral battle between the two factions of the NCP has become very interesting. Actually, Sharad Pawar has given a note to his grandson Yugendra Pawar from his Baramati fort. Ajit Pawar, who rebelled against his uncle and took charge of the party, is also contesting the elections from Baramati. Both parties have also released the list officially.
Sharad Pawar made a special strategy
According to the information, Sharad Pawar has made a special strategy to corner Ajit Pawar. Under this strategy, he has given entry to Yugendra, son of Ajit Pawar’s younger brother Srinivas. That means the battle of Baramati will now be seen between uncle and nephew. When there was a political dispute in the Pawar family, Srinivas and Yugendra supported Sharad Pawar and openly criticized Ajit Pawar. There was a lot of tension in the Pawar family when Ajit Pawar made his wife Sunetra contest in the elections from Baramati parliamentary constituency against his sister Supriya Sule. However, Sunetra had lost the Lok Sabha elections to her sister-in-law.
Baramati electoral history
Baramati constituency is considered the stronghold of the Sharad family. The Pawar family has held this position for 57 years. Since 1967, Sharad Pawar has been elected MLA from Baramati. Later Sharad gave this seat to his nephew Ajit. After him, Ajit Pawar has been the MLA from here continuously since 1993.
