In a surprising move, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has personally engaged with the opposition to discuss the Baramati Assembly by-election. The deadline for nomination withdrawals is Thursday, raising anticipation over whether the contest will proceed or result in an uncontested victory for the ruling coalition.
Sources reveal that CM Fadnavis directly contacted Maharashtra Congress President Harshwardhan Sapkal, urging the party to withdraw its candidate from the by-election. This step aims to facilitate the unopposed election of Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar, representing the NCP (Ajit Pawar faction).
This interaction marks a significant event in state politics, with the ruling BJP leader directly appealing to the main opposition party for candidate withdrawal, a rare occurrence.
