Key Highlights

  1. Baramati comprises 6 Assembly seats
  2. Supriya Sule is the sitting MP and three consecutive term winner
  3. NCP has fielded Sunetra Pawar, wife of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar from Baramati

Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) Member of Parliament and candidate from the Baramati Lok Sabha seat, Supriya Sule has called for peaceful and transparent elections after casting her vote on Tuesday during the third phase of the Lok Sabha elections.


Sule emphasized the importance of upholding democratic principles and ensuring a fair electoral process in a press address outside the polling booth, reported news agency ANI.  


"In a strong democracy, the Constitution should be kept at the centre and elections should be conducted with truth and transparency in the country. The third phase of voting is ongoing and it should be done peacefully," said Sule, who has won from this constituency for the last three consecutive terms.


Baramati comprises 6 Assembly seats: Indapur, Baramati, Purandar, Bhor, Khadakwasla, and Daund. Sule who is eyeing a fourth term from Baramati, registered a victory here after defeating BJP candidate, Kanchan Rahul Kul in 2019.

However, after the NCP split in July last year, Baramati has garnered the status of an intriguing constituency in this election. 

NCP has fielded Sunetra Pawar, wife of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar from Baramati against Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) candidate Supriya Sule, who is sitting MP and her sister-in-law.

Maharashtra, with its 48 Lok Sabha seats, is the second-largest contributor to the lower house of Parliament after Uttar Pradesh playing a crucial role in shaping national politics.

Meanwhile, NCP-SCP chief Sharad Pawar cast his vote at a polling booth in Baramati instead of Mumbai after a decade.

Deputy Chief Minister and Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar cast his vote at Gangubai Kate Zila Parishad Prathamik school, booth no. 224 Katewadi at Baramati constituency.
