The battle lines for the Baramati assembly seat were drawn after seven-time MLA and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar as well as his nephew and Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) candidate Yugendra Pawar filed their nomination papers.


While the Deputy CM led a massive nomination rally and waved to the crowds from an open vehicle, the process for Yugendra Pawar was low-key, with just NCP (SP) supremo Sharad Pawar and Baramati MP Supriya Sule for company apart from a few supporters.


In the 2019 assembly polls, Ajit Pawar had defeated BJP's Gopichand Padalkar by a record 1.67 lakh votes. Padalkar could not save his deposit.


Incidentally, in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, Sule got a lead of 47,000 over Sunetra Pawar from Baramati assembly segment. Of the 3,77,757 voters in Baramati, some 1.86 lakh are women.

The Maharashtra Assembly elections are scheduled for November 20, with counting for all 288 constituencies set for November 23.

Baramati will see another Pawar versus Pawar contest after Supriya Sule, daughter of Sharad Pawar, defeated Sunetra Pawar, wife of Ajit Pawar, during the Lok Sabha polls earlier this year.
