Political earthquake in Latur; Rebellion of loyalists against turncoats intensifies in Congress and BJP!
Latur, December 29, 2025: The upcoming Latur Municipal Corporation elections have stirred up the political atmosphere in the city. The discontent of party workers, who have maintained their loyalty for years, against the 'turncoat' leaders is now being openly expressed. The number of aspiring candidates has increased in both the major parties, Congress and BJP, and the tension has escalated as the candidate list is yet to be finalized. With only two days left for filing nominations, a large crowd of party workers is being seen at the doors of the leaders.
Many speculations are underway regarding how the power equation in the municipal corporation will unfold. Some corporators and aspirants have started changing parties, which has increased infighting and discontent within the parties. Although discussions are underway regarding the grand alliance between the BJP and the Nationalist Congress Party (Ajit Pawar faction), the possibility of resolving the deadlock seems low. On Sunday, a series of meetings continued throughout the day at the residences of BJP office-bearers. In the evening, a meeting was held between BJP's election in-charge, former minister Sambhaji Patil Nilangekar, and NCP leaders. However, there is a possibility that the Ajit Pawar faction might decide to contest independently.
The same situation in Congress:
The situation is similar in the Congress party. On Sunday, there was a large crowd of aspiring candidates at the residence of former minister Amit Deshmukh in Babhalgaon. Discussions on the candidate list continued until late at night. The Congress, which has a strong hold on the municipal corporation, is likely to decide to contest the elections independently. "What should be done about the workers who have worked for the party for years? This discontent is growing," said a senior Congress leader.
Disquiet among loyalists in BJP:
In the BJP, the calculations have become complicated due to four or five contenders for the same seat. Loyal leaders are receiving a large number of visitors daily, which has increased the unrest within the party. With the fear of rebellion after the list is announced, both parties are trying to appease everyone. Meetings with voters have increased, and the political atmosphere in the city has become even more heated.
Everyone is watching to see how the battle for power will unfold in this election. It will be interesting to see whether the conflict between party loyalty and opportunism will now enter the electoral arena.
