While Bhosle lost both times, the BJP and Bhosle have been taking confidence from Chavan's declining winning margins and Bhosle's improved performance.

The 2014 elections were interesting as Vilas Patil, the Congress sitting MLA, was denied a ticket in favour of Chavan. The latter contested as an independent and got 60,000 votes.
