Lokmat News Network

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: “BJP wants two more Assembly seats in the district in ensuing elections. It is seeking two seats, one from rural areas and another from city areas. The one seat is of Kannad or Vaijapur and another is of Western or Central Assembly Constituencies” said MP Dr Bhagwat Karad while talking to the media personson Tuesday.

He claimed that he made this demand with the party’s senior leaders. Currently, Aurangabad East, Phulambri and Gangapur Constituencies are with the BJP out of a total of nine Assembly Constituencies of the district. With the demand for two new Constituencies by the BJP, there is a possibility of a cold war in the Mahayuti.

The Kannad Constituency is presently with the UBT group. That is why, BJP has asked for the Constituency. BJP has a big list of aspirants for the Vaijapur Constituency. So, the Constituency has been demanded in the negotiation.

Shindsena's candidate received 95,000 votes from the West constituency in the city in the Lok Sabha elections. This is because of the BJP. That’s why, BJP has made a claim for the Constituency. Hence, the BJP has claimed the West Constituency.

The BJP is demanding one from the Central or the West, but both seats are currently held by the Shinde Sena. Shinde Sena has an MLA in Vaijapur.

There are five MLAs of Shinde Sena, three MLAs of BJP and one MLA of Thackeray group in the district. There is a question what will Shinde Sena do if the BJP gets five Constituencies in the Mahayuti.

At a time when it is being said that Shinde Sena will contest the election in the five Constituencies, the BJP has sparked a cold war. Ajit Pawar group wants Gangapur Constituency. BJP leaders are not ready to talk about whether the BJP will leave the Constituency.
