Congress candidate Abhijeet Wanjari has retained the Nagpur Division Graduates' constituency seat in the Maharashtra Legislative Council elections, delivering a symbolic win on the Bharatiya Janata Party and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's home turf. The declaration of results led to clashes between BJP and Congress workers outside the counting centre, requiring police intervention to disperse demonstrators. The poll outcome ignited an intense political war of words over ballot papers and electronic voting machines.
