Lok Sabha Polls: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP ) on Wednesday released the list of 19 Candidates from Maharashtra. According to the names announced by the party, senior leader Nitin Gadkari will fight from Nagpur. Piyush Goyal has been given a ticket from Mumbai North.

While Gadkari was renominated from Nagpur seat, commerce minister Piyush Goyal (Mumbai North) and Pankaja Munde (Beed) were among eight fresh faces in the list. Pankaja replaced her younger sister and sitting MP Pritam Munde. Gadkari’s name had not appeared in the BJP’s first list, prompting Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray to give him an open offer to contest as the opposition’s candidate.
