November 23, 2024 - 01:23 PM IST

Pawan Kalyan, the Deputy Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, has significantly influenced the recent Maharashtra assembly elections. His campaign rallies in regions with substantial Telugu-speaking populations, such as Ballarpur, Deglur, Pune, Solapur, and Latur, have bolstered the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) performance.

In Ballarpur, the BJP leads the Congress by 2,100 votes. In Deglur, the margin is 11,429 votes in favor of the BJP. Latur City and Latur Rural constituencies also show BJP candidates ahead by 550 and 1,094 votes, respectively.

In Pune Cantonment, the BJP candidate leads by over 7,200 votes. Similarly, in Solapur City and Solapur South constituencies, the BJP maintains a lead, while in Solapur Central, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) is ahead of the BJP.

Political analysts attribute this success to Pawan Kalyan's appeal among Telugu-speaking voters in Maharashtra. His rallies have drawn massive crowds, energizing the BJP's campaign and contributing to their electoral gains in these constituencies.
