Six-Time MLA from South-West Nagpur
Devendra Fadnavis was re-elected from his traditional South-West Nagpur Assembly constituency, defeating his closest rival, the Congress candidate, by a margin of approximately 40,000 votes. This marks Fadnavis’s sixth consecutive victory from the constituency. He also became Chief Minister in 2014 after winning from the same seat.
Mahayuti Dominates Nagpur District
Out of 12 Assembly constituencies in Nagpur district, the Mahayuti alliance claimed victory in nine. BJP candidates secured wins in South-West Nagpur, East, Central, and South Nagpur, Hingna, Kamthi, Katol, and Savner constituencies. Shiv Sena triumphed in Ramtek. On the other hand, Congress managed to win only three seats: Umred, West Nagpur, and North Nagpur.
Preparations Underway for a Warm Welcome
The BJP is leaving no stone unturned to make Fadnavis’s homecoming memorable. Party workers and leaders are actively involved in organizing a grand event to celebrate the Chief Minister’s first visit to Nagpur since taking office.
Fadnavis’s return symbolizes the stronghold of the BJP in Nagpur and the broader Vidarbha region, reflecting the party’s overwhelming support in the recent elections.
