Maharashtra elections 2024: Caste, religion, class... all variables matter in Aurangabad
The HinduIf the variable “effective number of parties” — which measures the competitive party contestants in any constituency — is considered for all seats in Maharashtra, then the three constituencies of Aurangabad city — its East and Central seats in particular — might be among the top. To complicate matters, the other strong political force in the constituency – the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen - which made its mark first in the 2014 Assembly election when its candidate Imtiyaz Jaleel won the Aurangabad Central constituency, has decided to field Nasser Siddiqui there while shifting Mr. Jaleel to the East seat. While Mr. Jaiswal’s name provides instant recall to most as he is the sitting MLA, Mr. Pund argues that the Shiv Sainik’s sympathy lay with the rebel Shinde faction in Aurangabad after the split, though Mr. Thorat’s Maratha identity has kept him competitive. A young corporation employee belonging to the Maratha community, who wanted to remain anonymous, corroborated this view saying Maratha voters would rally behind Mr. Thorat and his partyman Raju Shinde in the Central and West constituencies respectively. Another Maratha voter, however, argued that Mr. Jaleel was popular across sections and will earn the trust of Muslim voters while Mr. Thorat too will benefit from support from a number of them.
