Ajit Pawar Triumphs in Baramati: Sunetra Pawar Thanks Voters for Trusting Dada (Watch Video)

The ongoing results of the Maharashtra Assembly elections are revealing the inner workings of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and its leadership. A recent statement by Sharad Pawar, which gained widespread attention in Baramati and across the state, has been pivotal in shaping the discourse. In his statement, Sharad Pawar announced his intention to retire after his term in the Rajya Sabha. Ajit Pawar has capitalized on this comment, making it a focal point of his campaign and positioning himself as Sharad Pawar’s likely successor.

This tactic seems to have been effective, as Ajit Pawar has achieved a convincing victory in Baramati with a significant majority. Notably, Sharad Pawar had put forward his nephew, Yugendra Pawar, as a challenger to Ajit Pawar, prompting expectations of a close race. However, the election results have strongly favored Ajit Pawar, indicating robust public support for his leadership in Baramati.
