Ajit Pawar family tree: From Sharad Pawar to Supriya Sule - A look at the 'power' dynasty of India

The Pawar political dynasty, rooted in Baramati, has been shaped by Sharad Pawar and contested by his nephew Ajit Pawar, who died in a plane crash on January 28, 2026. Ajit’s 2023 split of the NCP divided the family: his faction became the official NCP, while Sharad Pawar’s group became NCP (SP). His nephew Yugendra Pawar contested against him in 2024. With Ajit’s death, succession and potential reunification are now critical questions.
