Pune: In the Baramati Lok Sabha constituency, where elections are heating up, sentiments are running high as the Pawar family finds itself embroiled in internal strife. The legacy of development in Baramati, attributed to Sharad Pawar’s fifty-year-old vision, is at the heart of the debate, overshadowing the electoral battle between Supriya Sule and Sunetra Pawar.
The campaign fervour peaked on the final day, with both sides staging rallies and meetings to assert their dominance. Amidst the political turmoil, Supriya Sule’s public meeting drew the entire Pawar family, underscoring the significance of the familial divide in the election narrative.
Reporters ventured into Baramati City to gauge public sentiment, revealing a complex array of emotions. While some lauded Ajit Dada’s contributions to development, many acknowledged Sharad Pawar’s foundational role in shaping Baramati’s trajectory over the past five decades.
The youth echoed the sentiment that the development transcends familial boundaries. However, senior citizens voiced their discontent, emphasising the need to refrain from causing pain to Pawar Saheb in his twilight years.
Despite the palpable tension, citizens tread cautiously, hesitant to express their views openly. This reticence underscores the depth of emotional investment in the outcome of the election as Baramatikars grapple with their allegiance amidst familial discord.
As the election draws near, the spotlight remains on Baramati, poised to witness a momentous electoral decision amidst the backdrop of familial rifts and political dynamics.
