The Congress faces potential political fallout if it opposes the unopposed election of NCP president Sunetra Pawar in the Baramati assembly bypoll. Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule warns of consequences, hinting at a broader political impact. The byelection occurs after the death of Sunetra's husband, Ajit Pawar, in a plane crash.

Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule issued a stark warning to the Congress regarding the upcoming Baramati assembly bypoll, emphasizing that their decision could have lasting political consequences.
The by-election, a result of former Deputy CM Ajit Pawar's tragic death, highlights a pivotal moment in Maharashtra politics. Sunetra Pawar, his widow, now leads the Nationalist Congress Party and is the contest's main focus.
Despite efforts for an uncontested race, Congress has fielded a candidate, insisting on an FIR for Ajit Pawar's accident. This move tests alliances, with Bawankule confident of BJP's strengthening presence in other state elections.
