A deep dive of Assembly-wise data from LS polling numbers shows all is not rosy for heavy-hitters like Aaditya, Ashish Shelar, Yamini Jadhav, among others

MLAs like Aaditya Thackeray, Ashish Shelar, Ameet Satam, Yamini Jadhav and Parag Shah could find themselves in some trouble. Those who were contesting against their respective alliance’s candidates in the recent Lok Sabha election received almost as many or more votes as the legislators did in their respective seats in the 2019 Assembly poll.
Every Lok Sabha constituency comprises six Assembly segments and leaders had instructed sitting MLAs to pull as many votes as possible in their respective seats for their alliance’s candidate. In general, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) and Mahayuti candidates received more votes in areas where their MLAs were elected in the 2019 Assembly election. But as the Sena (UBT) changed allies after the last election, the dynamics of many seats have changed, which was reflected in the recent Lok Sabha election.
