Patel clarified, “Let me make it clear, he will contest from Baramati only.” Ajit Pawar has consistently won the Baramati assembly constituency for seven terms since 1991, making him a seasoned political figure in the region.
Furthermore, Patel revealed that the first list of 235 candidates of the ruling Mahayuti alliance will be released on Dussehra, the same day as the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). The Mahayuti alliance, comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP, has been working to finalize the candidate list for the upcoming assembly elections.
According to sources cited by Moneycontrol, the BJP is expected to contest 150-155 seats, while the Shiv Sena, led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, will contest 75-80 seats. The NCP is set to field 60-65 candidates. Union Home Minister Amit Shah's recent visit to Mumbai reassured the leaders of BJP and the alliance with a fair distribution of seats.
Commenting on the seat-sharing formula, Patel stated, “We had asked for a respectable formula. Accordingly, we will get 60 to 65 seats. We are happy with this understanding.” He emphasized that after a series of seat-sharing talks, the Mahayuti partners reached a consensus on 235 of the total 288 assembly seats.
Patel also stressed that there is no dispute or disagreement among the Mahayuti allies, reinforcing the alliance's unity. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis, a key BJP figure in the state, expressed optimism about the election outcomes. Fadnavis hinted at a repeat of Haryana's success, where a party secured a third consecutive term for the first time in 60 years.
Fadnavis noted, “The people of Haryana rejected the opposition’s false narrative on issues like the Agnipath scheme and caste politics. They chose Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for development.” He added that the people have exposed Rahul Gandhi’s political tactics and are no longer swayed by drama and false promises.
The Mahayuti alliance is confident in its strategy and the support it has garnered. With key figures like Ajit Pawar and Devendra Fadnavis leading the charge, the alliance aims to secure a decisive victory in the upcoming assembly elections.
