Historical Dominance of Congress


In the last two assembly elections, Congress has held firm in Nawapur. Shirishkumar Naik secured the seat in 2019 with over 74,000 votes, defeating BJP's Bharat Gavit and independent candidate Sharad Gavit. In 2014, Congress had similarly triumphed with a substantial margin, showcasing its strong tribal voter connect.


 


Maharashtra’s Broader Political Context


The Nawapur contest reflects the larger electoral battle between the ruling Mahayuti alliance, comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena (Shinde faction), and NCP (Ajit Pawar group), and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (Congress, NCP Sharad Pawar faction, and Shiv Sena UBT). The outcome in Nawapur is particularly crucial, given the constituency’s symbolic significance in tribal politics.


 


Awaiting the Results


As vote counting progresses, the big question remains: Can Congress retain its dominance in Nawapur, or will the BJP or other challengers cause an upset? The results will shape the future trajectory of this tribal stronghold in Maharashtra’s political landscape.
