MOMENT OF TRUTH FOR PAWAR CLAN

Supriya Sule and her sister-in-law Sunetra Pawar on Thursday filed their nominations for Baramati on NCP (SP) and NCP tickets, respectively.

Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, husband of Sunetra Pawar, also filed a set nomination papers for the seat, which an NCP functionary described as a back-up plan in case Sunetra Pawar’s nomination does not stand scrutiny.

Polling in Baramati, the pocket borough of Pawars, will be held on May 7.

Congress leaders Balasaheb Thorat and Vishwajeet Kadam and others accompanied Sule, the sitting MP from Baramati and daughter of NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, as she filed the nomination papers before the returning officer at the Council Hall in Pune.

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, his deputy Devendra Fadnavis and NCP leader Praful Patel were present when Sunetra Pawar, who is making her poll debut, filed her nomination at the Council Hall later in the day.
