On the speculations about Ajit Pawar’s wife Sunetra being fielded against her in Baramati, Sule said “anyone can contest elections in a democracy.”

“How can this be a family fight? Anyone can contest elections in a democracy. If they have a strong candidate, then I am ready to talk to that candidate. Whatever topic, time, or place they decide, I am ready to sit down and discuss,” said Sule.

Her latest remarks came a day after publicity campaign vehicles in Baramati showcased pictures of Sunetra, even as speculation continued on her being the candidate of the NCP (Ajit Pawar) for the constituency in the Lok Sabha.
