Mumbai: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced the list of 20 popular candidates (Maharashtra BJP Candidate List) for the upcoming Lok Sabha Election 2024 in Maharashtra. Without resorting to any shocking strategy, BJP has once again expressed confidence in the sitting MPs in this list, barring three-four exceptions. Four sitting MPs have been kept in the waiting list. It remains to be seen whether he will get the candidature or his card will be removed and new faces will be given a chance. Actually, in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP had contested on 25 seats. BJP got 23 seats. Except Baramati and Chandrapur, BJP was successful in winning the remaining seats. This year, BJP is being cautious in releasing the first list for Maharashtra and the second for the country. After cutting the tickets of 5 candidates in the state, BJP has put 4 sitting MPs in the waiting list. BJP’s strategy of keeping the four sitting MPs waiting will become clear in a few days.
Maharashtra BJP Candidate List: BJP fields candidates on 20 Lok Sabha seats of Maharashtra, Gadkari gets ticket from Nagpur, Pankaja Munde will contest from Beed.
Which four MPs are waiting?
Mumbai North Central MP Poonam Mahajan, Solapur MP Jaisiddeshwar Swamy, Gadchiroli MP Ashok Nete and Bhandara Gondia MP Sunil Mende have not been included in the second list by BJP. There is talk that BJP may cut the candidature of Poonam Mahajan and MP Jaisiddeshwar Swamy. It is anticipated that since Bhandara Gondia and Gadchiroli constituencies are claimed by the nationalist Ajit Pawar group, they may get this seat.
Eknath Shinde government changed the name of Ahmednagar district, also changed the names of 8 railway stations of Mumbai, see the complete list.
What’s the problem with Baramati-Satara?
In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP MLA Rahul Kul’s wife Kanchan Kul was in the fray from Baramati seat. But Supriya Sule gave a shock to Kanchan Kul. In the by-election held on Satara seat, BJP fielded Udayan Raje. But NCP’s Srinivas Patil defeated Udayanraj. This year, NCP’s Ajit Pawar faction has claimed this seat.
