Maharashtra Assembly elections 2019: In Wardha assembly constituency, BJP's Pankaj Bhoyar has secured victory over Congress' Shekhar Shende. The victory was narrow with just 7933 votes separating the winner and the loser.
Pankaj Bhoyar was the sitting MLA in Wardha.
In 2014 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections, BJP's Pankaj Bhoyar had registered victory over Congress' Shekhar Shende.
Voting for Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Elections took place on October 21.
Shiv Sena contested on 124 of 288 seats in Maharashtra assembly, whereas the BJP fought 164 seats in its quota. The Congress and the NCP contested 125 seats each.
Shiv Sena-BJP combine is well on its way to form next government in Maharashtra. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is likely to continue in the chief ministerial office.
Though Congress and NCP will sit in Opposition, it seems that their alliance will improve their tally as compared to that in 2014 assembly elections.
