Why BJP lost its Nagpur and Pune graduates' seats in Maharashtra MLC polls

The BJP's defeats in the Nagpur and Pune graduates' constituencies in Maharashtra's Legislative Council polls have raised questions over candidate selection, internal dissent and its connect with educated voters. In Nagpur, home to CM Devendra Fadnavis, Congress's Abhijeet Wanjari beat BJP's Sudhakar Kohale by 3,271 votes after 40 hours of counting. In Pune, BJP's Smita Jadhav lost to NCP (SP)'s Harshada Deshmukh.
