Farm distress, anti-incumbency may dash BJP’s hat-trick hopes in Raver

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: Raver has been a Bhartiya Janata Party bastion ever since it was demarcated as a Lok Sabha constituency in 2009, with sitting MP Raksha Khadse securing comfortable victories in the 2014 and 2019 general elections. Jalgaon, Apr 26 : Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis shows a victory sign during an election campaign in support of Bharatiya Janata Party candidates from Jalgaon and Raver constituencies Smita Wagh and Raksha Khadse for the Lok Sabha polls, in Jalgaon on Thursday. Other Backward Classes comprise the largest segment of the constituency’s population, with the Leva Patil community, to which Khadse belongs, numbering around 2.30 lakh; other prominent OBC communities include Gujar Patils and Malis, who number around 1.10 lakh and 70,000, respectively. The party is doing well, and we hope to win the Raver seat by a margin of over 3 lakh votes,” said Maharashtra’s rural development minister and Jamner MLA Girish Mahajan, who controls the BJP in Jalgaon district. Khadse’s father-in-law Eknath Khadse was a BJP heavyweight before he fell out with deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis around two years ago and switched over to NCP.
