Sule is contesting against her sister-in-law, Sunetra Pawar, the wife of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.
Speaking before filing her nomination papers, Sule said that this is a battle of ideas, and she is confident that after seeing her work, the public will stand with her.
"I contest elections to serve the country. I have always worked within the framework of the Constitution. A leader always has to lead from the front and has very little time for emotions. I don't watch this as a contest. This is a battle of ideas. After seeing my work and my merit, I am confident that the public will stand with me. The biggest problem in this constituency is water. So I think the administration needs to pay more attention to this drought today," she said.
