Voting for Baramati by-election in Maharashtra is going on from the morning of today (April 23). Sunetra Pawar, wife of late veteran leader Ajit Pawar, is contesting on this seat. Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar has given a big statement amid voting.
Maharashtra Deputy CM Sunetra Pawar said that the people of Baramati have been with the Pawar family for the last 60 years and have supported us. This election is being held without Ajit Dada, hence the people of Baramati have taken this election in their hands. He wants to cast his vote as a tribute to his grandfather. For this, everyone is coming out from their respective sides in the village also. People from outside villages have also come especially for this election.
Sunetra Pawar further said, “Although the people of Baramati have taken this election in their own hands, but they have also seen that their Ajit grandfather has done a lot for them for so many years. Now is the day to give back to him. That is why they want to cast their precious vote in the name of Ajit Pawar. For this, they have come out of their homes and are standing in queues at the polling stations.”
