BJP candidate Sreejaya Chavan is currently leading Congress’ Tirupati Kondhekar by a margin of 12,367 votes in Bhokar, Maharashtra, based on the latest election results. Chavan, the daughter of former Maharashtra CM Ashok Chavan, shifted allegiance to the BJP earlier this year. This marks her electoral debut, following in the footsteps of her family, which has held the Bhokar seat multiple times since the 1960s.
In a recent interview, Chavan emphasized her focus on development, including improving education, infrastructure, and employment opportunities in Bhokar. Chavan’s campaign criticized the opposition for spreading “false propaganda” during the previous Lok Sabha elections, claiming it had failed to influence voters. As the vote count continues, the BJP is keenly watching the results, aiming for a significant seat gain in this election.
