The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) today released its first list of 38 candidates for the November 20 Maharashtra assembly elections with party chief Ajit Pawar being nominated from the Baramati seat -- the bastion of his undivided family. The party has also renominated 26 sitting MLAs and fielded sitting legislators Sulbha Khodke (Amravati) and Hiraman Khoskar (Igatpuri) who switched over from the Congress recently.
While senior NCP leader Chhagan Bhujbal has been fielded from Yewla, Bharat Gavit, the son of Congress veteran late Manikrao Gavit, will contest from Navapur.
