Sunetra Pawar, the deputy chief minister of Maharashtra, is appealing to voters in Baramati to support her in the upcoming bypolls as a tribute to her late husband, Ajit Pawar, who passed away in a plane crash on January 28, 2023. With 23 candidates contesting, including Sunetra, the election is expected to be closely watched, especially regarding whether she can achieve the significant victory margins her husband was known for. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has also urged voters to honor Ajit Pawar's contributions by supporting Sunetra. The Congress party initially fielded a candidate but later withdrew, citing the exceptional circumstances surrounding Ajit Pawar's death. Despite this, 22 independent candidates remain in the race. The constituency has approximately 3.84 lakh registered voters, and polling will take place on April 23, 2023. Preparations for the election are complete, with measures in place to ensure voter comfort amid prevailing heat conditions.
