Hindustan TimesPune: Nationalist Congress Party member and scion of the Pawar family, Yugendra Pawar, launched his Swabhiman Yatra at Baramati on Tuesday, mounting speculations about his potential candidature in the upcoming assembly elections. NCP leaders and scion of the Pawar family Yugendra Pawar launched Swabhiman Yatra at Baramati, mounting speculations about his potential candidature in the upcoming assembly elections. The march, which began at the family stronghold of Baramati assembly constituency, is seen as part of his effort to strengthen voter outreach ahead of the polls when he is likely to lock horns either with uncle Ajit Pawar or Ajit’s son Jay, feel political observers. If this happens, Baramati could witness another family battle between two Pawars—Yugendra representing NCP and either Ajit or his son Jay representing the Ajit Pawar-led NCP—just six months after the Lok Sabha polls, where Ajit’s wife Sunetra ran against Supriya.
