Pune district has 21 Meeting constituencies, out of which 10 are rural constituencies whereas the city areas of Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad make up the remaining 11. Within the 2019 Meeting elections in Maharashtra, the BJP had a transparent benefit within the city areas because it gained eight out of the ten seats and the undivided NCP gained the remaining three. Nevertheless, in rural areas it was an reverse image with the NCP-Congress collectively profitable 9 out of the ten seats and the BJP profitable just one.
9 of those 21 seats had been gained by a margin of lower than 10,000 votes, making them extraordinarily shut contests. Within the rural areas, Junnar, Indapur and Bhor had been gained by the NCP-Congress whereas Daund was gained by the BJP by a margin of lower than 10,000 votes. Within the city seats, Shivajinagar, Khadakwasla and Pune Cantonment had been gained by the BJP and Vadgaon Sheri and Hadapsar had been gained by the NCP by a margin of lower than 10,000 votes.
Will probably be attention-grabbing to see how these dynamics play out within the upcoming elections because the NCP break up into two factions final 12 months. The Ajit Pawar faction of the NCP has joined arms with the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena authorities and is contesting the elections in an alliance. Junnar MLA Atul Benke, Indapur MLA Dattatray Bharane, Vadgaon Sheri MLA Sunil Tingre and Hadapsar MLA Chetan Tupe have all joined Ajit Pawar’s faction after the break up. Harshavardhan Patil, who misplaced Indapur to Dattatray Bharane on a BJP ticket in 2019, has joined the Sharad Pawar faction of the NCP and has been nominated to contest from Indapur.
