Sunetra is expected to file her nomination papers on April 6.“Sunetra Pawar spoke to the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief on the phone, and they had a detailed discussion on the election.

However, while others were favourably inclined, the Congress was not. The party has decided to field a candidate and has even started the selection process. It has managed to get support from the Mahadev Jankar-led Rashtriya Samaj Paksha (RSP) and the Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA), which may prove significant in the polls. The RSP has a significant following in the constituency, as Baramati has a substantial Dhangar population that follows Jankar.Even chief minister Devendra Fadnavis supported the idea of an unopposed victory for Sunetra on the grounds of “Maharashtra’s political traditions and dignity”. Speaking to reporters on Saturday, the CM said that an uncontested by-election, where parties rose above political differences, would be in keeping with these traditions. “I believe all parties should support Sunetra Tai’s candidature,” he said.
