Key Highlights

Even as the Congress’s aspiring contestants in Mumbai have been left high and dry, it’s time for their Bhiwandi counterparts to cry foul as the NCP (Sharad Pawar) took the Lok Sabha seat—named after the workaholic textile town—from Congress.
NCP-SP’s declaration on Thursday had two seats, Bhiwandi and Wardha that were contested and won by the Congress in the past. It fielded Suresh alias Balya Mama Mhatre from Bhiwandi. For Wardha, it inducted former Congress MLA Amar Kale. Both candidates will fight the BJP’s sitting MPs.
