Sun Nov 24 00:15:41 UTC 2024: ## BJP’s Save Wins Close Aurangabad East Race Against AIMIM’s Jaleel

**Aurangabad, Maharashtra –** In a nail-biting finish, BJP candidate Atul Save has secured victory in the Aurangabad East assembly constituency, defeating AIMIM’s Imtiaz Jaleel by a mere 2161 votes. The election saw a dramatic seesaw battle, with Jaleel initially holding a commanding lead of over 23,000 votes before Save staged a remarkable comeback in the later stages of the counting process.

This victory represents a setback for the AIMIM, which had aimed to expand its influence in Maharashtra after winning two seats in the 2019 state elections. Despite a robust campaign, particularly in Muslim-majority areas, Jaleel’s loss is a significant blow to the party’s ambitions.

The Aurangabad East constituency, located in the district recently renamed Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, proved to be a key battleground. Save’s win underscores the BJP’s continuing strength in Maharashtra, particularly in urban areas, and adds to their impressive showing in the ongoing 2024 state assembly elections. Further updates will be provided as the remaining results are finalized.
