On Monday, the ruling BJP released its third list of 25 candidates for the Maharashtra Assembly polls, awarding tickets to two former Congress members and the personal assistant of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
The BJP has announced candidates for 146 seats so far. Polls for the 288-member Maharashtra Assembly will take place on November 20, with results declared on November 23.
Jitesh Antapurkar, who won a bypoll in 2021 on a Congress ticket and is considered close to former Chief Minister Ashok Chavan, has been nominated from Deglur. Chavan recently left the Congress and joined the BJP, which subsequently appointed him as a Rajya Sabha MP.
Archana Patil-Chakurkar, daughter-in-law of Congress veteran and former Lok Sabha Speaker Shivraj Patil, has been fielded from the Latur City seat. She joined the BJP in March this year, leaving the Congress.
Sumit Wankhede, who has served as Fadnavis's personal assistant for several years, will be the BJP's candidate from the Arvi Assembly constituency.
Interestingly, the BJP had given Fadnavis's former PA, Abhimanyu Pawar, a ticket from Ausa in 2019, which he won.
