Supriya Sule Retains Baramati Seat Defeating Sister-in-Law Sunetra Pawar

Pune: The NCP (SP) candidate Supriya Sule won from the Baramati Lok Sabha seat in Maharashtra by more than 1.55 lakh votes by defeating her sister-in-law Sunetra Pawar, wife of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.

Baramati saw the most high-profile contest in Maharashtra.

Sule’s cousin Ajit Pawar rebelled against her father Sharad Pawar in 2023 and split the party. For Ajit Pawar, his wife’s defeat would be a major setback.

The high-octane contest in Baramati this time saw members of the Pawar family trading barbs.

Sharad Pawar himself reached out to voters to campaign for his daughter. Ajit Pawar also held several public meetings.

Sharad Pawar said he was not expecting any other result in Baramati as he was associated with the constituency for the last 60 years.
