Amid a growing realisation within his camp that his strategy backfired, Maharashtra’s deputy chief minister regretted his decision to mix family ties with political ambitions
Maharashtra’s Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar admitted that fielding his wife, Sunetra Pawar, against his cousin Supriya Sule in the Baramati Lok Sabha constituency was a grave error in judgment. Sule emerged victorious, defeating Sunetra by 158,000 votes.
Ajit Pawar’s faction of the NCP suffered setbacks in the elections, losing both the Baramati and Shirur constituencies to candidates backed by Sharad Pawar’s faction, reflecting a shift in voter sentiment and raising questions about Pawar’s leadership.
During his ‘Jan Samman Yatra’, Ajit Pawar expressed regret over mixing family ties with politics, acknowledging that the electoral strategy backfired, impacting voter loyalty. Despite this setback, he continues to promote state welfare schemes through initiatives like ‘Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana’.
The defeat in Baramati underscores the intricate relationship between family dynamics and electoral politics, shaping the future of Ajit Pawar and the NCP in Maharashtra.
