Mumbai, April 7 -- NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar on Monday declared that he will not take part in deputy chief minister and Sunetra Pawar's campaign for the Baramati assembly by-elections. During a media interaction in New Delhi, the veteran leader said there was no need for him to campaign as his party has not fielded a candidate for the bypolls. He added that he took the decision as the head of the Pawar family and not as the NCP (SP) chief. The bypolls, scheduled for April 23, were necessitated by the death of former deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar in a plane crash on January 28. The NCP decided to field Ajit's widow and political successor, Sunetra Pawar. Despite being a rival party, the NCP (SP) decided not to field any candidate against Sunetra, who is also Sharad Pawar's daughter-in-law. The NCP (SP) also urged all political parties to let Sunetra win unopposed as a tribute to the late Ajit Pawar. However, Sharad Pawar made it clear that he will not campaign for Sunetra. "We have not fielded a candidate for the bypolls. So, when we don't even have our own candidate, what is there to campaign for?" Pawar told reporters when asked if he would campaign for the bypolls. "In the Pawar family, there is a tradition: the role of the head of the family is not political, but non-political. And today, as the head of the family, that responsibility lies with me. Therefore, I decided not to contest this election," added the 85-year old leader....
