Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) allies in Maharashtra, NCP leader Sharad Pawar seems to have managed to field the toughest candidates against BJP. A case in point is Ahmednagar where former Parner MLA Nilesh Lanke is taking on BJP MP Sujay Vikhe Patil. When NCP split last year, Lanke had joined the Ajit Pawar faction. However, in the run up to Lok Sabha polls, Sharad Pawar lured him back into his fold and offered him a Lok Sabha ticket. Sujay is son of state minister and Shirdi MLA Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil who was the opposition leader of Congress in 2019 before joining BJP. The Vikhe Patils are considered pioneers of cooperative movement in the state. Lanke, on the other hand, is known as a 'Covid warrior' who is highly popular in Ahmednagar.

Kanpur between the BJP, the incumbent party for two terms, and the Congress, which has fortified itself by joining forces with the Samajwadi Party. Kanpur, one of the oldest major industrial and commercial centres of Uttar Pradesh which has in the past sent heavyweights such as Murli Manohar Joshi and former Union minister Shriprakash Jaiswal to Parliament, is currently held by the BJP's Satyadev Pachauri, 76, who is not contesting this time. Both the main parties have fielded lesser-known faces. The BJP's candidate is journalist Ramesh Awasthi, a non-political, non-local figure who is banking largely on the Modi factor.

Nashik Lok Sabha seat was in the news because of the prolonged tug of war among the BJP, Shiv Sena and NCP (Ajit) over who should get the seat. The BJP first wanted the seat claiming that Sena MP Hemant Godse would not be able to retain the seat. However, after a seat exchange deal with NCP (Ajit), the BJP offered the seat to the latter. However, with Godse not willing to vacate the seat, CM Eknath Shinde refused to hand over the seat to the NCP(Ajit). Shinde kept dragging the issue till the date of filing of nomination after which the Ajit camp withdrew its claim for the seat. While Godse has got the seat, his job is only half done. He is now facing a tri-cornered contest with Rajabhau Waje from the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT), an independent candidate Shantigiri Maharaj and Karan Gaikar of the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi.

BJP and Congress in the upcoming election on Pune Lok Sabha seat, which was once the stronghold of the BJP over the past two Lok Sabha elections. However, a strange quirk of fate has altered the political equations here. In the 2019 assembly elections, BJP won five of the six assembly seats of the Pune Parliamentary constituency. It all looked like a cakewalk for the party. However, two incidents in March 2023 changed the dynamics of the constituency. Pune's MP and senior BJP leader Girish Bapat died after a prolonged illness. Before becoming an MP in 2019, Bapat was the MLA from Kasba Peth constituency, a BJP stronghold which the party didn't lose since 1995.

Lucknow and Kanpur, Unnao, whose political identity has been dominated by the Kuldeep Singh Sengar saga for a while, is witnessing a familiar battle between old contenders, but external factors may change the dynamics. Sengar, former BJP MLA, was sentenced to life imprisonment four years ago by the Delhi HC for raping a minor. The BJP's incumbent two-term MP Sakshi Maharaj is facing a spirited fight from former Congress MP from Unnao Annu Tandon for a third time, but this time as SP candidate. Originally from Kasganj, he won three Lok Sabha elections from Mathura and Farrukhabad, before being brought here in 2014, then winning on the back of almost en bloc support from the dominant Lodhi caste here as well as Nishads, combined with the Hindutva and Modi factor. But he has not been able to develop much of a positive reputation for himself in the past ten years. It is this 'Modi-Lodhi' factor that Tandon is challenging. A native of Unnao — whose late husband Sandeep Tandon was advisor to Mukesh Ambani — Tandon is widely known for her philanthropic activities, from contributing generously to weddings of girls to holding camps for eye checkups and more, according to locals.
