BJP’s first list of 99 candidates for the Maharashtra elections shows the party has fielded new faces and given over a dozen seats to women candidates.

With 13 female faces, over half a dozen newcomers and seasoned veterans, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) released its first list of candidates for the upcoming elections on Sunday afternoon.

The first list contains names of 99 candidates for the election to the 288-member Maharashtra assembly. The party has fielded deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis from his traditional Nagpur South West seat.

The list also includes the names of Mumbai BJP president Ashish Selar, fielded from the Vandre West seat, and senior party leader and Lok Sabha MP Narayan Rane’s son Nitesh Rane, fielded from Kankavli, a seat he currently represents in the assembly.

The BJP has fielded its Maharashtra president Chandrashekhar Bawankule from Kamthi, former state president Chandrakant Patil from Kothrud and former chief minister Ashok Chavan’s daughter Sreejaya Chavan from Bhokar.

The BJP is looking to contest around 150 seats in the state but is involved in tough bargaining with its allies Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar-led NCP.
