BJP-Congress Face-Off In Tribal-Dominated LS Seat

The BJP and the Congress are locked in a high-intensity political battle in the tribal dominated Nandurbar constituency in North Maharashtra.
BJP-Congress Face-Off In Tribal-Dominated LS Seat

The BJP has fielded sitting MP, Dr Heena Gavit, who is eyeing a hat-trick, against the Congress nominee Adv Goval Padvi, who is the son of the sitting Legislator KC Padvi and is contesting his maiden General Election. Nandurbar was a traditional bastion of the Congress till 2014 when Dr Gavit defeated the nine-term MP and former Union Minister Manikrao Gavit, riding on the Prime Minister Narendra Modi wave. In the 2019 elec tions, she was re-elected banking on her performance and the Modi government's works, defeating the Congress nominee KC Padvi.

For the BJP and Dr Gavit the election is quite crucial as the party seeks to further strengthen its grip in the constituency and increase its organisational presence all over the district.

On the other hand, by fielding a new face, the Congress hopes to regain its past glory and reinstate its hold in the district.

For Dr Gavit, the BJP is playing up 'Modi's guarantee', the Viksit Bharat 2047 agenda and a slew of developmental works carried out by the NDA Government in 10 years and also by the Mahayuti Government since June 2022.
