Council polls: Oppn MVA bags 2 seats, BJP 1; Independent candidate Tambe wins in Nashik

Mumbai, Feb 2 (PTI) In a setback to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party-Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena combine in Maharashtra, the Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi-backed candidates clinched two of the five Legislative Council seats, which were up for grabs in biennial elections from teachers and graduates segments, and appeared poised to bag a third seat also.

The BJP managed to win the Konkan division teachers constituency, while Independent candidate Satyajit Tambe, whose rebellion rocked the state Congress ahead of polls, won the Nashik graduates constituency comfortably.

The Nashik graduates constituency, represented by Satyajit Tambe's father Sudhir Tambe for three terms, was in focus due to the former's rebellion.
