Amid the tussle within the Pawar family for the Baramati Lok Sabha seat, Nationalist Congress Party (SP) chief Sharad Pawar on Thursday countered Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar`s appeal to Baramati voters to elect the `daughter-in-law of the Pawars` with an `original` versus `outsider` comment, reported news wire PTI.

Speaking at a programme of party workers in Baramati earlier this week, Ajit Pawar sought support for his wife in the Lok Sabha elections 2024 and sent out a message to the voters, telling them they have elected his uncle Sharad Pawar`s daughter three times, but now they should elect his daughter-in-law. "This time elect the daughter-in-law (Sunetra Pawar)," the NCP leader had said.
