No dispute in NCP over Sunetra Pawar Rajya Sabha nomination: Praful Patel
However, a section of NCP MLAs expressed dissatisfaction over Sunetra’s selection and the sidelining of contenders like Chhagan Bhujbal. One of them said NCP should have looked for a candidate other than a Pawar family member. “Nobody objected to Sunetra Pawar’s candidature from Baramati during the Lok Sabha election. All party workers from Baramati worked for her wholeheartedly. However, after her defeat, we felt Ajit Pawar should have picked a senior leader to send a positive signal to the functionaries and workers,” said an NCP MLA. A commerce graduate, Sunetra and Ajit Pawar together have declared property worth Rs 123 crore.
