The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is preparing to contest four out of the nine seats in the Maharashtra legislative council biennial elections set for next month. A meeting led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis discussed strategies, including a bypoll for one vacated seat.
According to insiders, the BJP has shortlisted candidates for four seats and a bypoll, with nominations awaiting clearance from central leadership. Nine council members, such as former CM Uddhav Thackeray, will vacate their positions on May 13.
The Election Commission of India has scheduled polling for May 12, with vote counting later that day. The ruling alliance, including the BJP, is expected to secure nine out of ten seats due to current assembly strength.
