Vasant Chavan, who won the Nanded constituency for the Congress party in 2024, passed away in August after a prolonged illness. Chavan had made his mark in Lok Sabha by defeating BJP strongman and MP Pratap Patil Chikhlikar from the Nanded region in Marathwada. Now, the Congress has decided to field his son, Ravindra Chavan, to continue the family legacy.
Meanwhile, the BJP's central election committee also convened on Wednesday to finalize candidates for the Maharashtra polls. The CEC discussed the seats the BJP is keen to contest in the 288-member assembly. According to sources, the BJP is likely to contest around 150 seats, allowing the remaining seats to be contested by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar's NCP. This strategic move aims to maintain the alliance's strength and coherence.
Earlier in the day, Jayant Bawankule, a key figure in the alliance, emphasized the need for Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to be open-minded and willing to make sacrifices in the seat-sharing arrangement, much like the BJP has done.
