Former chief minister Prithviraj Chavan, 78, lost to BJP's Atul Bhosale from South Karad in Maharashtra Assembly polls. He was defeated by the 41-year-old MBBS doctor by 39,355 votes. This marks a significant shift in the constituency as Chavan, a veteran Congress leader, secured a win in the 2019 elections by defeating Bhosale by a margin of 9,513 votes.
