Maha: BJP infighting, allies' silence raise concerns for Mahayuti in Satara

Satara, Oct 19 (UNI) Political developments in Satara have gathered momentum following the announcement of the Mahayuti alliance's candidate for the Pune Graduate Constituency election, with differences within the BJP and the uncertain stance of its alliance partners raising concerns over the coalition's prospects.
The absence of BJP minister Jaykumar Gore and MLA Dhyansheel Kadam from a party meeting held in Satara has fuelled speculation about internal discontent. The decision of MP Udayanraje Bhosale to refrain from speaking at the meeting has further intensified discussions about the unity within the ruling alliance.
The nomination of Smita Jadhav as the Mahayuti candidate has reportedly caused resentment among sections of the party's old and loyal workers in Satara district and across the constituency. The growing discontent has triggered concerns that internal differences could affect the alliance's electoral performance.
