Discussion­s about internal rebellion ablaze in Nanded

- MANISH GAJBHIYE

The conversati­ons and discussion­s circulatin­g among the people of Nanded district are focused more on internal difference­s within political parties than on the candidates contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. In total, 23 candidates are vying for the Nanded LS constituen­cy. A direct confrontat­ion is anticipate­d between the Congress and BJP candidates. However, both parties face the threat of internal rebellion during the election. The BJP has nominated sitting MP Pratap Chikhalika­r, while the Congress has chosen Vasantrao Chavan as its candidate.

Chavan, the former MLA from the Naigaon assembly constituen­cy, has been selected as the Maha Vikas Aghadi candidate from Nanded after former CM Ashok Chavan left the Congress and joined the BJP.

Hence, the saffron party finds itself in a favorable position. However, there are discussion­s among the public regarding potential internal rebellion within both the BJP and the Congress. Speculatio­n abounds about which particular leader or party worker might initiate internal rebellion during the election. It will be intriguing to observe which candidate and party will gain the upper hand during the elections and which may face internal rebellion on April 26.

Muslim, Maratha, and Dalit voters play pivotal roles in the Nanded constituen­cy. Following recent political developmen­ts in Nanded, it will be crucial for the BJP and Congress to secure the support of these sections of society. Similarly, with the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi fielding a candidate from the Lingayat community, there is a possibilit­y of vote division.
