Deputy Chief Minister (CM) Ajit Pawar appealed to the people of Baramati on Sunday to support him in the Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024, just as they made "saheb" happy in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, referring to his uncle, Sharad Pawar. According to news agency PTI, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader also claimed that he had gone out of the way to ensure a water supply for the people of Baramati.

In the Lok Sabha elections held earlier this year, NCP (SP) leader Supriya Sule, who is the daughter of party head Sharad Pawar, won the Baramati parliamentary constituency in a high-profile contest, defeating Ajit Pawar’s wife, Sunetra Pawar, in their family stronghold.
