Pune: Political activities in Pune are heating up following a recent series of high-profile visits. Yesterday (July 15), senior NCP leader and Minister Chhagan Bhujbal met with Sharad Pawar, creating a buzz that has yet to settle.
Today (July 16), Sunetra Pawar, wife of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar and NCP Rajya Sabha MP, arrived at Modi Baug. At the same time, Sharad Pawar and his MP daughter Supriya Sule were also present at Modi Baug, raising eyebrows and fueling speculation.
The timing of Sunetra Pawar's visit to Modi Baug while Sharad Pawar was present has sparked discussions. Whether Sharad Pawar and Sunetra Pawar met remains an unanswered question.
Sunetra arrived at Modi Baug about an hour ago and stayed for nearly an hour before leaving, leaving many curious about a possible meeting between her and Sharad Pawar.
The NCP has been divided since the political split between Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar. In the Lok Sabha elections, Sunetra Pawar contested from Baramati, challenging Supriya Sule.
Sule defeated Sunetra in the election, marking a significant victory on Ajit Pawar’s home turf. During the Baramati voting, Supriya Sule visited Ajit Pawar's home in Katewadi, raising eyebrows once again.
After the Lok Sabha election results, Supriya Sule visited Ajit Pawar’s home in Katewadi once more, prompting speculation. Sule clarified on both occasions that she was visiting her aunt for blessings, stating, "This is my aunt's house, and I came to see her and seek her blessings."
Two weeks after the Lok Sabha defeat, Ajit Pawar ensured Sunetra Pawar's nomination to the Rajya Sabha, despite many senior and aspiring party members. This move by Ajit Pawar has continued to generate discussion within the NCP.
