Lok Sabha 2024: In Baramati, rival Pawar clans attempt to mend fences with erstwhile foes

The Hindu  

The protean nature of Maharashtra’s politics is finding its strongest echo in the high-stakes Baramati Lok Sabha constituency, which is witnessing an intense battle between rival Nationalist Congress Party clans led by Sharad Pawar and his nephew Ajit Pawar who are vying for the attentions of their erstwhile political foes. On Friday, Mr. Pawar called on the family of his arch-adversary, the late Sambhajirao Kakade for the first time in 55 years in Baramati’s Nimbut village. The popular perception of the two rivals was stark: Mr. Thopate, the ‘strait-laced’ Congressman while Sharad Pawar the ‘crafty opportunist.’ On the other side, Ajit Pawar, who has staked his all to ensure the victory of his wife Sunetra, swallowed a bitter pill to reconcile with his formidable adversary - former Minister and Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena camp leader Vijay Shivtare from Purandar. In the Baramati Assembly segment, Ajit Pawar himself is legislator, Khadakwasla is held by the BJP’s Bhimrao Tapkir, and in Purandar, Ajit has neutralised a potentially deadly enemy in the form of Mr. Shivtare.
