After Ajit Pawar, nephew Yugendra visits Baramati, meets flood-affected citizens

“I have been active in Baramati…I started by visiting the flood-affected areas. I began from the urban areas,” Yugendra said on Wednesday.

Baramati has received a record amount of rainfall – more than 300 mm –  in the last few days. The heavy rain has led to flooding of nullahs, resulting in canals getting damaged, and water gushing into houses, roads, and farms.

The NCP(SP) is distributing grains and pulses to affected families who have lost all their food in the floods, Yugendra said, adding this would help them in meeting their immediate needs till their lives return to normal once the rain stops.

“We will take up the problems and issues with the administration to ensure a proper solution to the issues. If the canal walls were checked regularly, they would not have been damaged,” Yugendra added.

Following the heavy rains, NCP (SP) executive president and MP Supriya Sule, who is leading a delegation of MPs of various parties to convey India’s position on the recent conflict with Pakistan following the Pahalgam terrorist attack, had said in a post on social media that she was in touch with the citizens of Baramati, Daund, Indapur and Bhor, areas that are a part of the Lok Sabha constituency she represents.

Ajit Pawar’s son Parth and his wife and Rajya Sabha MP Sunetra Pawar, who had contested against Sule in the Lok Sabha elections last year, had also visited the affected areas of Baramati.
