Sunetra Pawar, the widow of the late Ajit Pawar, will win the Baramati bypoll unopposed following the Congress party's decision to withdraw its candidate, Akash More. This move is a tribute to Ajit Pawar, who tragically died in a plane crash on January 28 while attempting to land at the Baramati airstrip. The bypoll, originally scheduled for April 23, became necessary due to his passing. Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala confirmed the party's withdrawal, stating it was a mark of respect for Ajit Pawar's legacy. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and other senior politicians urged the Congress to stand down, citing Ajit Pawar's historical ties with the party. Sunetra Pawar filed her nomination papers on Monday and has since taken over her husband's role as Deputy Chief Minister. The Baramati constituency has been a stronghold of the Pawar family for decades, with Ajit Pawar holding the seat since 1991.
