The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Maharashtra is facing internal resistance over the allocation of the Aurangabad-cum-Jalna local authorities constituency seat in the upcoming Maharashtra Legislative Council (MLC) elections. Local party leaders have reportedly opposed the decision, citing strategic and political concerns that could impact the party's prospects in the region.
Sources within the party revealed that the BJP’s state leadership had initially considered nominating a candidate from this constituency, which covers the Aurangabad and Jalna districts. However, local leaders have pushed back, arguing that the seat should be reserved for other priorities or alliances. The opposition comes amid broader discussions within the party about seat-sharing arrangements and candidate selection for the MLC polls, scheduled to be held later this year.
