**Pune, Nov 8:** Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar clarified that he did not request Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hold a campaign rally in his Baramati constituency. He explained that the election battle in Baramati is a family affair, with him contesting against his nephew Yugendra Pawar, the NCP candidate. Prime Minister Modi will be holding rallies for the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections starting Friday.
