NCP (Sharad Pawar faction) MLA Rohit Pawar has begun a three-day campaign in Baramati in support of Sunetra Pawar, candidate from the Ajit Pawar-led NCP faction. The move comes despite the party split, as Baramati heads for a by-election on April 23

She began her campaign by offering prayers at a Hanuman temple in Kanheri village, following a long-standing tradition associated with her late husband Ajit Pawar, who would start his election campaigns from the same location
