Sunetra Ajit Pawar, the newly elected Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Baramati, Maharashtra, has resigned from her position as a Member of the Rajya Sabha, effective May 6. This decision comes just two days after she won the Baramati assembly bypoll with a record margin of over 2.18 lakh votes. Sunetra, who was nominated to the Rajya Sabha by her husband Ajit Pawar, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve at the national level and acknowledged the enriching experience her tenure provided. Her resignation was formally accepted by the Vice President of India, C.P. Radhakrishnan. Notably, Sunetra Pawar's election to the assembly marks a significant political moment, especially following her previous loss in the Baramati Lok Sabha election to her sister-in-law, Supriya Sule. Despite the challenges faced in her political career, Sunetra's recent victory has been celebrated within her party, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). Her son, Jay Pawar, is expected to engage with constituents in Baramati to address their concerns.
