As the Lok Sabha election fervor intensifies, political leaders are ramping up their efforts across Maharashtra in preparation for the upcoming phases of voting. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is slated to energize the campaign for Maha Alliance candidates in four pivotal constituencies: Baramati, Shirur, Maval, and Pune city.
Set to take place on April 29, the campaign meeting, endorsed by Prime Minister Modi, marks a collaborative endeavor involving the Shiv Sena, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), and other allied parties aligned with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
As the electoral season sweeps through the state, political parties are organizing road shows and public gatherings featuring prominent leaders. Significant attention is drawn to the Baramati and Shirur constituencies, where Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s wife, Sunetra Pawar, is pitted against MP Supriya Sule, and Shivajirao Adharao Patil is challenging MP Amol Kolhe, respectively.
The stakes are notably high, especially in Baramati, which is considered a stronghold of the Pawar family. Despite concerted efforts by the BJP to garner support, the contest remains formidable. The recent visit of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to Baramati underscores the BJP’s strategic maneuvers in the region.
This forthcoming campaign meeting holds particular significance, reflecting on past elections where Modi’s presence was anticipated but did not materialize. Initially planned for Khadakwasla, logistical constraints necessitate its relocation to the SP College grounds.
With the battle lines drawn, the BJP aims to challenge traditional strongholds, thereby setting the stage for a fiercely contested Lok Sabha election in Maharashtra.
