The third phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections kicked off with great fervor as 11 constituencies in Pune and Solapur prepared to cast their votes. Among the notable personalities who exercised their voting rights were Chhatrapati Shrimant Shahu Maharaj, Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister and Nationalist Congress Party President Ajit Pawar, and Congress' candidate for Solapur, Praniti Shinde.
Chhatrapati Maharaj, accompanied by members of the royal family, arrived at a polling station in Kolhapur, where he is contesting as a united candidate for Maha Vikas Aghadi. Ajit Pawar, along with his wife Sunetra Pawar, who is also an NCP candidate, cast their votes at a polling station in Kategaon. Sunetra is in a high-stakes battle against her sister-in-law and NCP Working President Supriya Sule.
Meanwhile, Praniti Shinde, the daughter of former Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, arrived with her family to cast their votes in Solapur. She urged all eligible voters to come out and make their voices heard.
In a statement, Ajit Pawar emphasized the importance of focusing on development and PM Narendra Modi's performance rather than getting swayed by emotions. The third phase of voting saw a total of 258 candidates from major parties competing in Baramati, Dharashiv, Hatkanangle, Kolhapur, Latur, Madha, Raigad, Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg, Sangli, Satara, and Solapur.
Despite the severe heatwave conditions, all parties and candidates made an earnest appeal to the voters to come out early in the morning and cast their votes before the temperatures become unbearable. It was heartening to see a brisk start to the voting process in all the constituencies. The fate of these 258 candidates now rests in the hands of the people. Let's exercise our right to vote and be a part of shaping the future of our country.
