Congress Retains Nagpur MLC Seat, Deals Setback to BJP in Maharashtra Elections
Congress candidate Abhijeet Wanjari retained the Nagpur Division Graduates' constituency seat in the Maharashtra Legislative Council elections, defeating BJP's Sudhakar Kohale by 3,271 votes after over 40 hours of counting. This victory marks a setback for the BJP in Nagpur, a traditional stronghold and home to leaders like Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi won three of five seats, while the BJP-led alliance secured two. The result has prompted political reactions from both parties, with Congress highlighting the win as a sign of shifting voter support and BJP reviewing its performance.
