Ahead of Maharashtra Assembly polls, Sharad Pawar launches Baramati blitz to challenge nephew Ajit’s hold over constituency

The Hindu  

After trouncing his nephew Ajit Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party in the Lok Sabha election, NCP chief Sharad Pawar has begun a whirlwind campaign in the Baramati Assembly segment in a bid to supplant the younger Pawar in the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly election. On June 19, the 83-year-old Mr. Sharad Pawar, on a three-day tour of drought-affected villages in Baramati, expressed confidence in the NCP coming to power in Maharashtra after the Assembly election. This is the second time in less than a week that Mr. Sharad Pawar has undertaken a three-day tour of Baramati, hinting at the NCP patriarch’s determination to break his nephew’s stranglehold over Baramati. The high-prestige Baramati Lok Sabha contest saw Mr. Sharad Pawar’s daughter Supriya Sule trounce Sunetra Pawar despite younger Pawar throwing in the weight of his Mahayuti allies – the BJP and the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena in the fray.
