Till the voting day, a majority of the city was speaking about the sure victory of Bharatiya Janata Party candidate and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari by a record margin. The pitch changed soon when his nearest rival Vikas Thakre of Congress claimed that the voting percentage and patterns were going in his favor. BJP has already geared up for Gadkari’s victory while there is a silent enthusiasm in Congress camp which is expecting major surprise. This time as Vikas Thakre claimed, the atmosphere was never advantageous for the party like it was in 2024 polls. The caste equation, the unity among congress leaders, people’s response etc. Unlike in 2019, Thakre proved to be a formidable candidate. Of course, all the speculations, guess work and numbers game will come to an end on Tuesday when results will be out.
