Nashik Lok Sabha Election Results

It was in Nashik that the Shiv Sena’s Godse Tukaram staged a major upset and defeated NCP strongman Chhaggan Bhujbal in 2014. The NCP had held this seat twice before the 2014 elections. Nashik has been a Congress bastion for long and the party has won this seat 8 times in the past. The NCP on the other hand has won it twice. The Shiv Sena too has won this seat twice and the BJP once. The Congress-NCP combine appears to be a strong player this year, with there being confusion on a Shiv Sena-BJP truck in Maharashtra.
