Congress Party Withdraws Candidate from Baramati Bye-Election

With just an hour to go, Congress pulls out of Baramati race

In a significant political maneuver, the Congress party withdrew its candidate from the Baramati bye-election just before the nomination deadline. This decision, influenced by appeals from the Pawar family and Mahayuti partners, ensures Sunetra Pawar faces no major opposition. The bypoll was necessitated by the tragic passing of Ajit Pawar.
