Jitendra Ahwad is contesting from Kalwa Mumbra in joint NCP, but now NCP has given ticket to Najeeb Mulla against him. Due to which the possibility of division of Muslim votes has increased. Actually, there are a large number of Muslim voters on this seat. In such a situation, it is sure to be difficult for Jeetendra Ahwad. The leader of this group is Jitendra Sharad Pawar. The name of sitting MLA Nawab Malik is not in this list of NCP. In his place his daughter was preparing to contest elections. The NCP had set a date for his nomination, but it was later withdrawn and his name is no longer on the list, leading to speculation that the party may sideline the Malik family.
Bhujbal was opposing the reservation given to Marathas from OBCs.
Chhagan Bhujbal is contesting from Yeola seat itself, but it remains to be seen how much of a challenge this seat will become for him after being targeted during the Maratha movement because Bhujbal was opposing the reservation given to Marathas from OBC.
Tickets to two rebel Congress leaders
Ajit Pawar has given tickets to 2 rebels of Congress. After the current Congress MLA from Amravati Sulabha Khodak joined Ajit Pawar's party NCP, there was speculation that she might get the ticket once again and finally Ajit Pawar has given her the ticket and made her the party candidate from Amravati. At the same time, former Congress MLA Hiraman Khonskar, who recently joined the NCP Ajit faction, has also been given ticket by Ajit Pawar from Igatpuri seat of Nashik.
