@ani7709 Nagpur - BJP
Although there may not be lead as much as last time for BJP, BJP is in comfortable position to win this seat.
Nana Patole uplifted spirit of INC cadre as he fought against heavyweight minister Gadkari. Gadkari couldn't move out of Nagpur for a while in this phase.

@ani7709 Bhandara-Gondiya - BJP
A neck to neck contest. BJP put a good fight in by poll held previously. Due to Nana Patole moved to Nagpur to contest, BJP somewhat got a relief to make this seat workout.
Both BJP & NCP put fresh candidates. It is going to be a cadre vs cadre fight.

Heavy weight minister Hansraj Ahir will be fighting against Suresh Dhanorkar who have jumped to INC from ShivSena.
Fight though looked to be neck to neck, Hasnraj Ahir's reputation, connection with public & every assembly, development work should put him through

@ani7709 Yavatmal-Washim - SS
A four corner fight between SS-INC-VBA-Prahar's candidate Vaishali Yede.
In fighting in ShivSena, a bit of upset in BJP's cadre has put this fight tough for Bhavana Gawli. Although VBA can spoil chance of INC on this seat.

@ani7709 Hingoli - INC
ShivSena's past candidate Subhash Wankhede jumped to INC due to no ticket offered as fresh candidate Hemant Patil to contest from SS.
Wankhede known for his reach & playing cards. How much INC's Satav puts effort will decide fate. INC seems to have edge

@ani7709 Parbhani - NCP
Highest anti incumbency noted on this seat. Rajesh Vitekar a reliable face put by NCP seems to be winning against ShivSena's many terms MP Sanjay Jadhav. Although how many votes VBA takes will be interesting to see!

@ani7709 Jalna - BJP
BJP Maharashtra's head Raosaheb Danve will be winning yet again. Just in time damage control seems to have worked for him as he made ShivSena's MLA Arjun Khotkar put differences aside.

@ani7709 Aurangabad - ShivSena
Four cornered fight has made this seat very interesting! SS vs MIM vs independent MLA Harshwardhan Jadhav vs Subhash Zambad.
At first glance, INC doesnt look in the contest neither Jadhav will be able to make it. Real fight is between MIM & ShivSena

@ani7709 Very high anti-incumbency against Chandrakant Khaire while MIM put solid efforts to unite Muslim & Dalit votes.
Some BJP leaders have worked for Jadhav.
Either ShivSena should win by 25k or MIM may make it by same margin.
Still insights looked like ShivSena has edge.

@ani7709 Dindori - BJP
BJP changed its incumbent MP to NCP's 2014 candidate Bharati Pawar. NCP has imported ShivSena's Dhanraj Mahale to contest.
How much Harishchandra Chavan reacts will decide fate of this seat.

@ani7709 Nashik - ShivSena
Nashik has a history that no MP has repeated ever. This time history will not repeated it seems. ShivSena's Hemant Godse should win Nashik consecutively.
Independent MP, Manikrao Kokate cutting votes of both parties. His large influence remain only in Sinnar.

@ani7709 Palghar - ShivSena
Palghar looks like major fight is between ShivSena vs Bahujan Vikas Aghadi (not to be mistaken with Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi)
SS has asked Rajendra Gavit who won by poll last time on BJPs ticket to contest.
BVA has lost its symbol whistle which is disadvantage

Mumbai North Central - BJP
Once upon a time, Congress looked ultra strong in this seat, now finding infighting & lack of machinery to take its voter to booth.
BJP campaigned well & systematically put its machinery to make Poonam Mahajan win against Priya Dutt.

Mumbai South Central - ShivSena
Rahul Shewale of ShivSena has good hold now on this seat while INC finding it slipping from its hand. Help of MLA Kalidas Kolambkar will also be added advantage.

Mumbai South - ShivSena
ShivSena will win this seat as Worli, Shivdi & Malabar Hill voted higher compared to Congress stronghold Colaba, Mumbadevi & Byculla.
People have voted for Arvind Sawant for his network & good work done.
Congress yet again lacked necessary machinery.

Anti incumbency against minister Anant Gite of ShivSena. Last time PWP & NCP fought independently, dummy candidate took votes of Sunil Tatkare.
This time they have allied, ShivSena took Antule's son in party although NCP looks like winning.

SS should get lead from Chinchwad, Maval & Karjat while NCP can get lead from Uran, Panvel. Pimpri has higher probability of NCP getting lead but neck to neck. PWP has supported NCP as much as they could.
Jagtap has worked for BJP even if not to full extent while many other NCP leaders have worked whole-heartly for NCP. In spite of that, when looked at insight ShivSena will win this seat. Chinchwad's ShivSenas margin may be much higher to break.
Pune - BJP
#Pune may have noticed drop in voting percentage by 4% compared to 2014, however due reason is Congress voter didn't step down enthusiastically as they used to be. Late candidate declaration has costed party dearly.

Girish Bapat should win against Mohan Joshi of INC by margin of more than 2 lacs. Shivaji Nagar, Parvati, Kothrud, Kasba will give almost one side margin while INC will eye to get margin in Cantonment & Vadgaon Sheri.
Baramati - NCP
Though BJP put it all to win this seat, late declaration of candidate, no Modi's rally will be disadvantage.

Real battle of Baramati lies between Indapur & Bhor. Covering lead of Baramati looks a tough task.
However must mention that BJP's Kanchan Kool reached to almost everyone (in terms of she is contesting from BJP) in very short time, she is wife of RSP MLA Rahul Kool.

Shirur - ShivSena
Few months ago, Shirur looked a very safe seat but surprise entry of Amol Kolhe shaken grounds of Shirur. In this high voltage battle, Kolhe's popularity, media coverage, oratory skills have paid off.

ShivSena to get lead from Ambegaon, possibly from Bhosari & has also eyed for Khed. On other hand NCP is eyeing Junnar, Shirur, Khed & Hadapsar as well.
Hadapsar may go neck to neck.
Taking voter to booth will pay off & ShivSena may win this battle with low margin.

Vikhe had already took organized efforts however on other hand, Sangram Jagtap is local candidate that is benefiting him a lot.
In this high voltage battle, Vikhe looks like winning due to his own system & voter base + BJPs vote being added while NCP putting truly tough fight!

Pavanraje Nimbalkar was father of Omraje who alleged to be murdered by Padmasinha Patil. That sentiment is still within people & have sympathy for Pavanraje Nimbalkar while how much Ravindra Gaikwad co operates (ex mp of ss) & anti incumbency towards Sena will play crucial role.
Latur - BJP
Used to be bastion of Congress earlier however since 2004, Latur started noticing power of BJP.
BJP has won seats since 2004 except lost in 2009 by narrow margin.

In Madha, BJP has fielded son of Hindurao Naik Nimbalkar - Ranjeetsinha Naik Nimbalkar. On other hand NCP has fielded Sanjaymama Shinde brother of Babanrao Shinde. Both have much high popularity in Madha & reach is tremendous in Malshiras & Madha assemblies.

Satara - NCP
In 2014, NDA left this seat to RPI & it became a cakewalk for Chhatrapati Udayanraje Bhosale - a Chhatrapati legacy .
This time ShivSena fielded Narendra Patil - a legacy of Anna saheb Patil.
Udayanraje is very much popular across & reach of NCP is tremendous.

However, Udayanraje facing anti-incumbency due no up to the mark development. BJP has increased its own power while Sena has kept its previous voter share intact. Narendra Patil being leader of Mathadi, it is a very good alternative. Udayanraje also faced heat of own party MLAs.

Hatkanangle - Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatna
Seemed to be a safe seat at first glance for Raju Shetty however ShivSena-BJP-Mane's own voter combined worked for Dhairyasheel Mane of SS. Anti incumbency towards Shetty on many points while Sugarcane farmers being Shettys asset.

It become a tough fight & low voting percentage in Islampur should bother Raju Shetty. In spite of that, Raju Shetty may get lead in Shirala, Shirol & Islampur. How Sena has taken its voter to booth is the key for their win.

@ani7709 Sena will not doom as it seemed or projected by some journalists, analysts. Could have been a soft target but Sena cadre & its loyal voter will make it all to go Sena beyond single digit. Ground work will pay off
@ani7709 BJP & ShivSena sweeping whole MMRDA region (Mumbai-Thane belt)!
NDA winning 10/10 seats includes 6 seats of Mumbai, Palghar, Bhiwandi, Thane, Kalyan.
NDA winning 10/10 seats includes 6 seats of Mumbai, Palghar, Bhiwandi, Thane, Kalyan.
@ani7709 Predicting some of my personal predictions of other states (pretty high level - birds eye):
In #Karnataka, BJP should same count as much as it got in 2014 or more than that but not below.
Looks like BJP will gain more seats in #Haryana than it gained in 2014.
