Parth Pawar tipped for Rajya Sabha; Sunetra Pawar to contest by-poll from Baramati Assembly seat
The Statesman Delhi
|February 26, 2026
The top leadership of the Ajit Pawar-led NCP has decided to send the late Ajit Pawar's son Parth Pawar to the Rajya Sabha, party sources said here on Wednesday.
As reported earlier, elections to37 Rajya Sabha seats across 10 states are scheduled for March 16, while the tenure of seven MPs from Maharashtra, including that of NCP founder Sharad Pawar, will come to an end shortly. Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) are the ones who vote for candidates to the Rajya Sabha and 36 legislative assembly seats are needed to contest these seven Rajya Sabha seats. Since the BJP-led NDAs thumping victory inthe 2024 Maharashtra Assembly polls, six out of these seven Rajya Sabha seats are likely to go to the NDA, leaving just one Rajya Sabha seat for the entire Congress-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) opposition.

Soil to Salon ~ I
Bengal’s position declined sharply relative to other states, and the 1991 liberalisation almost completely bypassed the state. While Maharashtra’s per capita private investment in industry soared from Rs 679 in 1980 to Rs 12385 in 1994, for Bengal, it only rose from Rs 469 to Rs 4376 over this period. Gujarat’s rise was even more striking, from Rs 1142 to Rs 22776.
