Last year, BJP was defeated in the by-election of Kolhapur assembly seat. After this, there was disappointment on the teacher MLC seat in Nagpur. Now the BJP candidate has been defeated in Pune’s Kasba Peth seat. Due to this defeat, the concern of BJP has increased. It is also going to give tension for the BJP because for the last three decades, it was seen continuously winning from here.

After the defeat in the by-election, Maharashtra’s Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis has said to introspect on the defeat of Kasba Peth. However, the BJP has retained the Chinchwad seat in Pune itself. Fadnavis said that Congress candidate Ravindra Dhangekar won the bypoll from this seat because of his political ability. Congress candidate Dhangekar did not use photographs of his party leader Rahul Gandhi (during campaigning). They (voters) had a natural sympathy and it is reflected in our (pre-poll) survey as well.

If reports are to be believed, the people of the area did not like raising national issues like this in a by-election.
