Pune: NCP (SP) candidate and sitting MP Supriya Sule won with a huge margin in the Lok Sabha election from the Baramati seat. It was the first general election after a vertical split in the party. Sule was pitted against her sister-in-law and DyCM Ajit Pawar’s wife Sunetra Pawar.
Ajit Pawar’s brother Shrinivas Pawar campaigned against him in the election. Shrinivas Pawar has commented on the outcome of the poll in Baramati.
Supriya Sule defeated Sunetra Pawar with a big margin yesterday. This has given rise to discussions that Ajit Pawar would come back to join Sharad Pawar. Speaking to a news channel, Shrinivas Pawar said, “Sharad Pawar, Supriya Sule and Jayant Patil will decide whether they want to welcome Ajit Pawar back in their fold. We felt bad when his candidate was defeated. I discussed this with Supriya. After all, he is my elder brother. We respect him. We questioned some of his decisions. But he did not listen to us.”
Sharad Pawar is supreme in Baramati
He said, “It has now been proved that Sharad Pawar is supreme in Baramati. Baramatikars made a point that though Supriya was married off to Sadanand Sule, she still belongs to Baramati. They gave her a winning margin of 1.53 lakh votes.”
Tai in Lok Sabha and Dada in the state assembly
The Baramati Lok Sabha constituency attracted the entire country’s attention after a division in the NCP. Supriya Sule got the lead from the very first round and people were curious to know her victory margin. They voted her to victory keeping in mind that they wanted to send Tai to the Lok Sabha and Dada (Ajit Pawar) to the State Assembly. Sule polled 48,168 more votes than Sunetra Pawar from the Baramati segment.
