Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024: Just before the assembly elections in Maharashtra, NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar celebrated the festival of 'Bhau Beej' with his family. Pawar along with his family members and supporters gathered to celebrate 'Bhau Beej' in Baramati in Pune district on Sunday (November 3), but his nephew and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar was absent from the occasion.
Sharad Pawar's daughter and Lok Sabha member from Baramati Supriya Sule has shared a video on social media in which supporters and relatives are seen welcoming the NCP (Sharad Chandra Pawar) chief. The NCP split took place in July last year, when Ajit Pawar and several MLAs joined the Eknath Shinde government against the wishes of Sharad Pawar.

Ajit Pawar had participated in 'Bhau Beej' program last year.
The Election Commission later gave the party name and 'clock' election symbol to the Ajit Pawar faction, while the Sharad Pawar-led faction was named NCP (Sharad Chandra Pawar). However, Ajit Pawar had participated in the Baramati 'Bhau Beej' program last year. This year, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar also broke the family tradition of jointly celebrating Diwali Padwa by organizing a separate event in his native village Katewadi.
