Maharashtra BJP leader Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Thursday claimed that it will lead to Congress' downfall if it does not allow Sunetra Pawar to win the Baramati Assembly by-election unopposed, reported the PTI.

Bawankule claimed that if the Congress refuses to withdraw its candidate, the party’s political decline would begin from Baramati. He added that people in Baramati and across Maharashtra favour an uncontested victory for Sunetra Pawar.
