Nagpur: Alert after destroying defeat in the election of the constituency of graduates, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) did not take MLC December 10 polls lightly.
Party strategy makers have begun to prepare for not only Nagpur seats, but also others in Mumbai, Dhule, Nandurar, Akola, Buldhana, and Washim.
Concerns of Safron’s leadership was not established.
In 2009 the general election, former Minister Rajendra Mulak won with a thin margin of wafers only four votes to sit BJP MLC Ashok Malekar.
At that time BJP had more numbers in local civilian bodies and ruled Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC).
President BJP President Pravin Datke told TOI that the party would not take the risk even though their victory was a previous conclusion because of the profit of around 65 seats.
“Given our defeat in the graduate constituency poll in December last year, we will be careful when developing a poll strategy.
We will ensure that no one is too confident in the activists and leaders when going to the poll,” he said .
For BJP, winning a seat is also a prestige problem considering the two biggest leaders – Nitin Gadkari minister and opposition leader Devendra Fadnavis, who is also a former major minister of the city.
Every defeat in their home city directly affects their credibility.
In a graduate election poll, Congress Abhijit Wanjari defeated former Mayor and Sandip Joshi’s favorite with a big margin of 18,910 votes, although the chair was a BJP base since being formed and represented by Gadkari heavyweight.
Unexpected losses for the first time in this MLC seat in 58 years have destroyed the Safron Party from the inside and raised several questions about the credibility of the biggest leaders.
Previously, the party suffered a defeat in the election of the 2019 assembly in this district because he won only six seats from 12 compared to 2014, when he won 11, when Sunil Sedar’s state minister was a single winner of Congress.
Speaking of party losses in 2009, sitting MLC Girish Vyas said Cross voting by four council members Kampee had changed the wave in the kindness of the opposition at that time.
“We will ensure that such a situation is not repeated.
I launched a book on Friday highlighting my work in constituencies in the past six years.
It will be launched by Gadkari and other top party functionaries in Suresh Bhat Hall.
We really have done that work Processed during the Covid-19 crisis by not only spending funds, but also provides all kinds of assistance during an emergency, “he told Toi.
