The election in Baramati was intensely personal, reflecting the deep divisions within the Pawar family. Sharad Pawar’s camp emphasised what it called a sense of betrayal, while Ajit Pawar’s faction highlighted narratives of family alienation.
Following his decisive victory, Ajit Pawar’s wife and Rajya Sabha MP, Sunetra Pawar, praised the electorate for their steadfast support.
“Baramatikars have shown that they are Dada’s true family,” she said, acknowledging the strong bond between Ajit Pawar and the people of his constituency.
