The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided to step up attack against the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar ahead of the polling for the 17 constituencies slated for April 29. Party insiders hint that Pawar is the target as he was instrumental in bringing together opposition parties across the country and in Maharashtra.
BJP's focus is on Pawar's pocket Baramati where his daughter Supriya Sule, an NCP nominee is seeking a third term, Maval where his grand-nephew and former deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar's son Parth Pawar is a candidate, and Madha where NCP has fielded Sanjaymama Shinde.
