Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president JP Nadda will on Monday launch a drive from Chandrapur as part of the party’s plan to win 18 ”difficult” seats from Maharashtra in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, a BJP leader said on Sunday. Nadda will address rallies at Chandrapur in east Maharashtra and Aurangabad in the Marathwada region. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP failed to retain the Chandrapur constituency which was won by Congress, the only seat the Grand Old Party currently holds in Maharashtra which sends 48 MPs to Lok Sabha. The BJP had revised its national target of the ”difficult” LS seats it is eying to win in the 2024 polls to 160 from 144. In Maharashtra, the saffron party has identified 18 ”difficult” constituencies.
