Nagpur Graduates Election Sees BJP Rebel Anil Sole Contesting as Independent
The Nagpur Division Graduates' Constituency election features a key contest between BJP's official candidate Sudhakar Kohale, Congress's incumbent Abhijeet Wanjari, and former BJP MLC Anil Sole, who is running as an independent after being denied the BJP ticket. Despite efforts by BJP leaders to persuade Sole to withdraw, he remains in the race, raising concerns about vote splitting. Meanwhile, rebel candidates in other Maharashtra constituencies have withdrawn, easing alliance tensions ahead of the October 23 polls.
