Ajit Pawar, the NCP leader and Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra, said he felt terrible about the “Pawar versus Pawar” race in Baramati during the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Baramati has been a base of Sharad Pawar for many years. In the election, Supriya Sule, Sharad Pawar’s daughter, and Sunetra Pawar, Ajit Pawar’s wife, had a unique race.
What Sharad Pawar Did to Win in Baramati
Supriya Sule got 51.85% of the votes, which put Sharad Pawar ahead of Sunetra Pawar, who got 40.64%. While Ajit Pawar won a lot of votes, Sharad Pawar lost a lot of party members. This win was big for him. Sharad Pawar’s group got eight Lok Sabha seats, which is his best showing in Maharashtra. On the other hand, Ajit Pawar could only win one seat, even though he was part of the ruling party led by the BJP.
Ajit Pawar Thinks About the Election
Ajit Pawar agreed that politics shouldn’t get into family life. He admitted that putting Sunetra Pawar against his sister Supriya Sule was a mistake. The NCP’s parliamentary board made the decision, but Ajit now thinks it was the wrong one.
Things that will be hard for Ajit Pawar
After the Lok Sabha elections, Ajit Pawar may have a better chance of getting elected again. The NCP is a part of the coalition with power, but they still need to be made a minister in the central government. The RSS doesn’t like Ajit Pawar’s deal with the BJP because they think it will hurt the BJP’s image. Maharashtra is getting ready for the end-of-the-year state elections, and Ajit Pawar’s change in attitude toward Sharad Pawar shows how hard things are for him.
