Baramati by-election: Sunetra Pawar casts vote, says people know ‘Dada’s work’
Sunetra Pawar enters electoral politics amid a legacy battle in Baramati, with voting underway and the bypoll shaped by Ajit Pawar’s sudden death earlier this year.

Ajit Pawar-led NCP MLAs also met Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis late Thursday evening to discuss several errors in the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau’s (AAIB) 22-page preliminary report, which was released last week.
The official announcement came at the Ajit Pawar-le NCP's national convention 2026 organised in Worli here on Thursday.
As reported earlier, elections to 37 Rajya Sabha seats across 10 states are scheduled for March 16, while the tenure of seven MPs from Maharashtra, including that of NCP founder Sharad Pawar, will come to an end shortly.
Sharad Pawar-led NCP MLA Rohit Pawar released another video of the late Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar's air crash at Baramati airstrip on January 28, and told media persons that his bereaved sons Parth Pawar and Jay Pawar have their own doubts about the tragic incident.
According to sources, Parth Pawar is not keen to contest the Rajya Sabha MP seat from which his mother Sunetra Pawar resigned before she was sworn in because this would give him only a "partial" term in the Rajya Sabha.
Significantly, the meeting in Delhi took place just a day before the report on irregularities in the Pune land deal — allegedly involving Ajit Pawar's son, Parth Pawar — is scheduled to be submitted to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday (November 17).
Parth Pawar, who owns a 99 per cent stake in Amadea Enterprises LLP, has not been named in any FIR related to the 40-acre Mundhwa land deal in Pune's Koregaon Park area so far.
The Deputy CM also said that his son has not been named in any First Information Report (FIR) so far, “because only those who signed the registration documents were booked”.
The Maharashtra Chief Minister said that his deputy Ajit Pawar also shared similar views and the government officials involved in the deal were suspended immediately.
