NCP’s Supriya Sule Plays Badminton With Kids in Unique Poll Campaign
Supriya Sule, NCP MP from Maharashtra’s Baramati, has kickstarted her re-election campaign uniquely – by playing badminton with children in her constituency.
In a video that has gone viral, Sule is seen effortlessly volleying in a saree on an indoor court with young players. The friendly games highlight the three-term MP’s connect with local youth ahead of polls.
Sule has won Baramati, an NCP bastion, since 2009 after her father Sharad Pawar. But this time, she may face family competition – Ajit Pawar’s wife Sunetra is eyeing a potential candidacy from the seat.
When asked about Sunetra’s likely challenge earlier, Sule noted anyone can contest in a democracy. For now, she seems focused on creative grassroots engagement.
The badminton matches reinforce Sule’s sporty appeal while presenting a refreshing alternative to conventional campaigns. Rather than political rallies, she is seen directly interacting with children in a relaxed setting.
The unique strategy plays to the sitting MP’s strengths as she aims to retain her family legacy. By mingling locally over shared sporting passion, Sule conveys approachability amidst a looming electoral fight.
