Analysis
  • A lame-duck CM seems to be not in charge as Congress heads for the battlefield… with little chances of his being at the helm post elections, Ashok Chavan has been pulled down 2 rungs.
  • The above development has catapulted Raj Thackeray at an unprecedented rank of #3!
  • Sadashiv Mandlik could not sustain his foothold on this Powerlist and has been replaced by Raju Shetty… another independent from Southern Maharashtra. He is incidentally the only worthwhile candidate in the new formation called Republican Left Democratic Front.

don't you think these RPI peeps gained anything after their unison and also why deora and gurudas kamat are ahead of leaders like raju shetty and kore who have more support and also will play important role in coming elections.

Earlier poster is right, especially re Vinay Kore. In the forthcoming elections, Jansurajya Shakti led by Vinay Kore is contesting 50 seats on it's own, which in itself is no small feat. This fact alone should propel him to the top 5 at least!
