Speculations of Ajit Pawar's wife vs Supriya Sule contest from Baramati
Ajit Pawar's wife, Sunetra Pawar, has initiated a promotional campaign in the Baramati constituency and is expected to contest against the incumbent Supriya Sule, the daughter of veteran leader Sharad Pawar.
Addressing the speculations regarding Sunetra Pawar's potential candidacy against her in Baramati, the Pawar family's stronghold, Supriya Sule said earlier in February, “Anyone can contest elections in a democracy.”
The big battle for Baramati has intensified, with Lok Sabha polls ahead this year. “How can this be a family fight? Anyone can contest elections in a democracy. I also said yesterday that 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,” Sule was quoted as saying by ANI.
