2024 Maharashtra Legislative Assembly election.
Preparations for next year's assembly elections have already started. Meanwhile, applications are being invited from interested candidates. The Congress has received 24 nominations from 8 constituencies in Pune. There were 20 candidates in the fray for the seat. At that time, the Congress did not take any money from the applicants. The Congress has nominated Ravindra Dhangekar as its candidate.
However, it has been said that a fee has been charged while inviting applications for the assembly elections. 20 thousand for open category and 10 thousand for women and reserved category. That is why the number of applications this time is less compared to the Lok Sabha applications. (Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024)
The Congress is contesting all 288 seats in Maharashtra in the upcoming Assembly elections. Political experts say that the Congress is being tested from the point of view that if it does not get the expected seats in the seat allocation or if it has to take the role of 'Ekla Chalo Re' at that time, it should be prepared.
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar has staked claim to 6 out of eight assembly seats in Pune. The Shiv Sena-NCP-Congress alliance has also decided to contest on 6 seats. The Congress is likely to win the Pune Cantonment, Shivajinagar and Kasba Assembly seats. The Congress is trying to win two seats.
Now Kasba, Shivajinagar, Hadapsar for the next assembly election (Hadapsar Assembly),

and Kothrud Assembly constituency. (Khadakwasla Assembly)
