Analysis
  • As most parties wait with bated breath for the elections, there is very little change in the Mahapol Powerlist over the last month.
  • Gopinath Munde has been appointed as the person in charge of the assembly elections in Maharashtra by the BJP high command… strengthening his position in the party.
  • On the other hand, Chhagan Bhujbal is facing an uphill task in his hometown Nashik due to opposition from the Maratha lobby. This has ensured that these two politicians have exchanged their positions on our ladder.
