The Congress party has recently revealed their candidate for the upcoming Nanded parliamentary seat bypoll. Ravindra Chavan, the son of the late Vasantrao Chavan, has been selected to represent the party in the election. This decision comes after Vasantrao Chavan, who previously held the Nanded seat, sadly passed away on August 26.
The bypoll for the Nanded Lok Sabha constituency is scheduled to take place on November 20, coinciding with the Maharashtra Assembly polls. Vasantrao Chavan had managed to secure the Nanded seat in the past, despite facing tough competition from local heavyweight and former chief minister Ashok Chavan, who had switched to the BJP before the Lok Sabha elections. Vasantrao Chavan’s unexpected victory was a significant moment in local politics.
In response to the Congress party’s announcement, AIMIM leader and former Aurangabad MP Imtiyaz Jaleel has declared his intention to run in the Nanded bypoll as well. This development could potentially divide the anti-Mahayuti votes, posing a challenge for Chavan and the Congress party. As of now, the BJP has not yet named their candidate for the upcoming election.
It is worth noting that the Nanded seat was previously held by Pratap Chikhlikar, who had defeated Ashok Chavan in the 2019 parliamentary election. The political landscape in Nanded seems to be evolving rapidly, with new contenders emerging to compete for the vacant seat.
As the bypoll approaches, all eyes will be on the candidates and their campaigns as they vie for the opportunity to represent the people of Nanded in the Lok Sabha. The outcome of this election will not only shape the political future of the region but also serve as a testament to the legacy of late Vasantrao Chavan. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
