The eldest son of late CM Vilasrao Deshmukh could not retain his hold in Latur and managed to win only 15 seats as against 35 in 2012. former Maharashtra CM failed to make an impact in his home district of Satara, where his party won only six seats --- a massive dip from the 21 it had won when he was CM. Suffered a resounding defeat at the Solapur Municipal Corporation after two decades. Shinde has gradually been losing hold over his home district after losing the Lok Sabha elections 2014.
