During a rally in Baramati, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar said that the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections 2024 holds the power to shape the nation's destiny. His statements came as his wife, Sunetra Pawar, is running as the ruling alliance's candidate against three-time MP Supriya Sule, who is her sister-in-law and the daughter of Nationalist Congress Party founder Sharad Pawar.
Ajit Pawar told a crowd in Ambegaon, including supporters from the Bhor and Velha assembly seats, that the Lok Sabha Elections 2024 is about more than local concerns or family ties. Instead, he emphasised its importance in shaping the course of the entire country, reported PTI.

The Pawar promised to build sports complexes on open land and support a ropeway system at Raigad Fort. He also highlighted his efforts to meet the needs of the Maratha community.
"This election is not about a village or about (familial) relations. This election will decide the future of the country," he said at a rally organised for Sunetra Pawar, reported PTI.
"Show me open land and I will get a sports complex constructed there. Funds will be granted for the ropeway facility at Raigad Fort. The demand to rename Vekha taluka as Raigad was fulfilled. I have worked hard for the Maratha community," the Deputy CM further added.
Referring to the changing political landscape, Pawar stated that candidates who had previously allied with the unified NCP symbol, the 'clock', have now switched allegiance to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the PTI report stated. According to the report, the transition comes after the NCP split last year, with Ajit Pawar's branch retaining the party name and symbol, while the opposition section, led by Sharad Pawar, operates under the banner of NCP(SP) and the symbol of 'man blowing turha'.
Encouraging voters to reflect on past performance, Pawar urged them to consider the accomplishments of candidates over the last 15 years before casting their votes, in an apparent reference to Sule's tenure as the MP from Baramati since 2009.
