Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis Honors His Word; A Challenge for the Congress
Baramati: Following the filing of her nomination papers for the Baramati Assembly by-election—a seat left vacant after the passing of Ajit Pawar—NCP President and Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar met with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today. During this meeting, Fadnavis gave a categorical assurance to Sunetra Pawar and the NCP leaders, stating: "In this by-election, the BJP will stand firmly by your side as the 'Big Brother' and will extend every possible cooperation to ensure Sunetra Pawar's victory."
Accompanying Sunetra Pawar were senior NCP leaders including Sunil Tatkare, Parth Pawar, and Hasan Mushrif. The meeting involved extensive discussions lasting a full hour. This meeting is considered particularly significant as tomorrow marks the final day for the withdrawal of nominations.
Devendra Fadnavis remarked, "The BJP will provide all necessary assistance in the Baramati by-election. We will offer steadfast support—much like a 'Big Brother'—to ensure Sunetra-tai is elected." This assurance highlights the unity prevailing within the *Mahayuti* (Grand Alliance).
Meanwhile, the likelihood of the election being uncontested has diminished, as the Congress party has fielded a candidate against Sunetra Pawar. Sources indicate that there are differing opinions within the Congress regarding this matter; while some senior leaders favor withdrawing their candidate, efforts are currently underway to establish contact with the party's High Command in Delhi. Supriya Sule has stated, "Everyone has the right to contest an election; however, Baramati remains a deeply emotional issue for us."
It is also reported that the NCP is currently in contact with the Congress party regarding this situation. Fadnavis had previously appealed to all political parties to demonstrate magnanimity and allow Sunetra Pawar to be elected unopposed.
This meeting—and the pledge given therein—could prove to be a pivotal turning point for the *Mahayuti* amidst the intense political battle for the Baramati by-election.
