Yugendra Pawar, the son of Shrinivas Pawar (Ajit Pawar’s younger brother), brings a strong family legacy to the contest. This nomination sets the stage for an intense showdown in Baramati, a constituency that has been a battleground for the Pawar family for years.
The NCP (Sharad Pawar) list also includes other prominent figures such as state president Jayant Patil (Islampur), Jitendra Awhad (Mumbra-Kalwa), Anil Deshmukh (Katol), Harshvardhan Patil (Indapur), and Rohit Patil, the son of the late R.R. Patil, who is set to make his electoral debut in Tasgaon-Kavthemahankal.
The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), the opposition alliance comprising the NCP (Sharad Pawar), Congress, and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray), has recently finalized a seat-sharing agreement. The alliance will contest 255 out of the 288 constituencies, with each party fielding 85 candidates. This strategic move has bolstered the Sharad Pawar faction’s position, making it a formidable contender for the Chief Minister's post if the alliance wins the elections.
Initially aiming for 75-80 seats, the NCP (Sharad Pawar) managed to secure a larger share after negotiations with its alliance partners. The face-off in Baramati is particularly significant given recent electoral results. In the last Lok Sabha elections, Ajit Pawar’s wife, Sunetra Pawar, received 573,979 votes but lost to her sister-in-law, Supriya Sule of the Sharad Pawar faction, who secured 732,312 votes. This underscores the deepening family and political rivalry.
The Maharashtra Assembly elections, encompassing all 288 constituencies, are scheduled for November 20, with results expected on November 23.
