Will Owaisi be able to save the lone seat of AIMIM? 


In 2019, AIMIM surprised the entire country by winning a seat in maharashtra outside Hyderabad. But, it is not finding easy for Asaduddin Owaisi's party to repeat the same performance this time in Chhatrapati Sambhaji nagar (earlier Aurangabad). Whereas, on the basis of his works, the current mp of the party Imtiaz jaleel has also gained popularity.


For the entire two decades i.e. from 1999 to 2019, aurangabad seat remained in the possession of shiv sena (United) and only shiv sena (UBT) leader Chandrakant Khaire kept winning from here. In 2019, Owaisi's party won from this seat, but the victory margin was very marginal or about 4,500 votes. But, after the change in the political equation in maharashtra, there is a huge change in the mathematics of multiplication of votes on this seat. This time, Chandrakant Khaire, who is seeking votes for india Bloc by becoming 'secular', has positioned himself as a leader of Hindutva by giving the slogan of 'Khan (Muslims) should we want or Baan (bow and arrow - Shiv Sena's election symbol) should be required from here'. He used to win elections by presenting himself as 'Secular', today due to being a candidate of india Bloc, he is forced to prove himself 'secular'.


Shiv Sena had lost in 2019 due to 'division in Hindu votes'. The reason behind Khayre's defeat in the last election is considered to be the candidature of former Kanada mla Harshvardhan Jadhav, in whose favor 2,83,798 votes were cast. It was believed that this division in Hindu votes became the major reason for the defeat of the then shiv sena candidate. shiv sena (Shinde faction) has fielded minister Sandipan Bhumre. This time on behalf of NDA, shiv sena (Chief minister Eknath Shinde faction) has fielded state minister Sandipan Bhumre and Jadhav is again in the fray as an independent candidate. All the assembly seats of this lok sabha seat are with bjp and shiv sena, hence Bhumre feels that his position is strong. This time the situation of multi-cornered contest in aurangabad has become a situation of multi-cornered contest on this seat. However, Khayre feels that the equation of the region has changed in his favor and he will be successful in defeating Jalil. But, the mp from Owaisi's party has also gained popularity on the basis of his work in the last five years.
