BJP's "Family Pack" Fails in Loha Polls; NCP's Sharad Pawar Wins President Post

  • BJP's "family pack" strategy in Loha municipal council polls in Nanded district backfired, with presidential candidate Gajanan Suryavanshi and five relatives losing.
  • NCP's candidate, also named Sharad Pawar, secured the president's post in Loha, highlighting NCP's dominance with 17 members.
  • The opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi had previously criticized BJP for "dynastic politics" regarding this family's candidacies.
  • Across Nanded district, no single party dominated; NCP won in Loha, Kandhar, Degloor, Umri, while BJP secured Kundalwadi, Mudkhed, Bhokar.
  • Interestingly, the NCP (SP) led by Sharad Pawar failed to win any municipal councils in the district, despite the other Sharad Pawar's victory.

Why It Matters: BJP's dynastic strategy failed in Loha, while NCP gained dominance, though Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) struggled.
