The battle lines for the Baramati assembly seat were drawn after seven-time MLA and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar as well as his nephew and Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) candidate Yugendra Pawar filed their nomination papers.

While the Deputy CM led a massive nomination rally and waved to the crowds from an open vehicle, the process for Yugendra Pawar was low-key, with just NCP (SP) supremo Sharad Pawar and Baramati MP Supriya Sule for company apart from a few supporters.
