Sunetra Pawar Wins Baramati Bypolls By Record 2.18 Lakh Margin
This development comes following the Deputy CM registered a historic victory in the Baramati Assembly by-election, winning by a record margin of 2.18 lakh votes and setting a new national benchmark.
Her victory surpasses the previous national record margin of around 2.14 lakh votes. The result marks the highest-ever winning margin not just in Baramati, but at the national level as well.
The by-election was held after the death of former Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in a plane crash earlier this year. The massive mandate is being seen as a strong emotional response from voters and a tribute to Ajit Pawar’s legacy in the constituency.
In her message after the win, Sunetra Pawar thanked the people of Baramati for their overwhelming support. She described the result as a reflection of the love and trust people had for Ajit Pawar and said the victory is a “grateful tribute” to him.
