Sunetra Pawar's NCP Faction Wins Someshwar Sugar Factory Election in Pune
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) faction led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar won the Someshwar Cooperative Sugar Factory election in Pune district, securing all 21 seats. This victory, seen as a test of her leadership after the late Ajit Pawar's death, reflects decades of his work supporting farmers, including offering the highest sugarcane prices nationally. Rival panels backed by Sharad Pawar's faction and a BJP-supported rebel candidate were defeated, with high voter turnout reported.
