The MNS chief -- whose party symbol is a Railway Engine -- finds a place of pride on the new posters in Baramati.
Barely 72 hours after Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray announced unconditional support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling MahaYuti government, he suddenly found himself catapulted from the political fringes onto the electoral mainstage, on Friday.
The MNS chief -- whose party symbol is a ‘Railway Engine' -- finds a place of pride on the new posters, banners, handbills and publicity material of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) candidate from Baramati, Sunetra Ajit Pawar.
Baramati has already made it among the handful of top Lok Sabha 2024 constituencies with a ‘Big Fight' scheduled between NCP President and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar's wife Sunetra, and his cousin sister, Nationalist Congress Party (SP) Working President Supriya Sule, daughter of the Maratha strongman Sharad Pawar.
