Parth Pawar had contested from the Maval seat in the previous Lok Sabha election. Pawar had lost the election. Now, he has been proactive in the campaign in Baramati. He has been meeting up with party workers and gathering consensus for his mother's win. Given that Baramati is yet stronghold of Sharad Pawar and the threat it can pose to Parth Pawar's safety, the decision has been made to provide him with Y plus security. 

This comes at a time when the Pune Police have cut down on security arrangements for some individuals during the election season. Given the load on the police force, the decision was made to lessen the level or withdraw security given to some persons. Parth Pawar's Y Plus security is now making rounds in this light.
