Loha Shocker: BJP's Family Candidates Decimated, Chikhlikar's NCP Dominates

• BJP fielded six members from Gajanan Suryawanshi's family for the Loha Municipal Council elections.
• All six BJP family candidates suffered a crushing defeat, resulting in zero seats for the party.
• NCP, led by former BJP MLA Prataprao Patil Chikhlikar, secured the mayoral post and 17 seats.
• Chikhlikar's victory is seen as a major blow to Ashok Chavan's influence and a "giant killer" moment.
• Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress each managed to win only one seat in the elections.

Why It Matters: BJP's dynastic politics backfired in Loha, leading to a complete rout by former BJP leader Chikhlikar.
