Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra
The Bharatiya Janata Party has announced its first list of candidates for the Maharashtra assembly elections. Since the announcement of the BJP list, some leaders in the party have complained, but there has been a wave of joy in some places. The party announced a list of 99 people. Among them, Deputy Minister Devendra Fadnavis from south-western Nagpur has emerged as a candidate. Many new faces are getting opportunities on this list, while the party has once again expressed confidence in many existing MLAs.
The BJP has approved lists of 99 candidates for 288 seats in Maharashtra, but discussions are ongoing within the party over the lists. However, after the announcement of the candidate list, dissatisfaction emerged among some leaders who expressed dissatisfaction with the party’s decision.
Who is angry?
The party expressed confidence in the example of Madhuri, Parvati assembly constituency in Maharashtra. Srinath Bhimale looked angry ever since Madhuri Misal got the ticket. Former Bharatiya Janata Party leader Srinath Bhimale also tried his best to get tickets, but when he did not get them, he made his dissatisfaction clear. He said, I asked for the nomination from the party. My resentment remains.
The Bharatiya Janata Party has named Seema Sheela as its candidate from Nashik. Dinkar Patil seemed angry ever since Seema Hiray’s name was announced. Nashik is the place with the most number of BJP candidates. Ever since Seema Hiray announced her candidacy, there has been dissatisfaction among the BJP leaders and they have expressed it publicly.
The party expressed its confidence in Shankar Jagtap by canceling the ticket of Pimpri Chinchwad district MLA Ashwini Jagtap. His remarks came to light after Ashwini Jagtap’s votes were slashed. He said there was never any dispute between us over the candidates. We have said before that whoever gets the ticket will work.
“My name will be included in the second list”
Lakhan Malik, the sitting MP from Washim seat, said, I very much hope that my name will also appear in the second list released by the party. He said that the People’s Party has given me four opportunities to become a provincial councilor and I request the party to give me another chance. I will work as per the orders of the BJP. If the party gives me a chance, I will work. If the party asks me to stop, I will stop. He further said that the first batch of lists has been announced and the second batch of lists will be announced in the next two or three days. There’s a chance my name could be on that list.
Meeting requires shared seating
A meeting was held between BJP officials and workers on the issue of Sangora assembly constituency. Bharatiya Janata Party president Chetan Kedar said the Jarange factor and Deepak Aaba Salunkhe Patil will not have any impact on the Sangola assembly constituency. Chetan Kedar said he will meet Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis tomorrow and demand that the Sangora Assembly seat be given to the BJP. Kidal said there was no challenge from Maha Vikas Aghadi, who claimed that the Mahayutti candidate would be elected with a huge margin in the Sangola Assembly constituency.
Which leaders got re-tickets?

Interestingly, the BJP has announced Girish Mahajan as its candidate for the Jamna seat for the seventh time in a row. MLA Suresh Bhole and MLA Sanjay Savkare were announced as candidates for the third time. Mangesh Chavan has been announced as the BJP candidate for the second time.
