Deputy chief minister Fadnavis' PS makes it to BJP's third list, 4 party MLAs denied ticket

- SUDHIR SURYAWANSHI

WHILE filing his nomination from the Baramati constituency in Maharashtra for the Assembly polls, Deputy CM Ajit Pawar on Monday said that in the recent Lok Sabha elections, he made a mistake by fielding his spouse against his sister Supriya Sule. "But the same mistake should not have been made by Sharad Pawar by asking Yugendra Pawar to file his papers against him.

Yugendra is the grandnephew of NCP chief Sharad Pawar and son of Sriniwas Pawar and nephew of deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar.

Baramati will witness a high-voltage Pawar-versus-Pawar drama like in the Lok Sabha elections. Ajit Pawar's spouse Sunetra Pawar lost the election against Supriya by over 1,50,000 votes. In the Baramati segment, Supriya got the lead of over 58,000 votes, in a constituency from where Ajit Pawar had been elected MLA seven times.
