MVA rift: Uddhav likely to back Sunetra Pawar in Baramati bypoll, but Congress not on board
The Congress broke with its MVA partners, declaring it would contest the upcoming Baramati Assembly by-election. Sunetra Pawar, widow of deceased NCP leader Ajit Pawar, is the ruling alliance's candidate. Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray is expected to announce his party's decision soon, with sources indicating a likely support for Sunetra Pawar. The Congress, however, has decided to contest the by-election independently, citing a lack of communication and participation in alliance discussions.
