Will Hitendra Thakur sweep this seat third time?
This seat is in the Palghar district and is known for its stronghold for independent candidates. Historically, this seat has seen mixed victories - the Janta Party and Congress both have won this twice while independent candidates have won four. Thakur won on a Congress ticket in 1990, then went on to win as an independent in 1995, 1999 and 2004. Since 2014, he has consistently won under the BVA banner. Since 1990, Hitendra Thakur has ruled Vasai as a Congress candidate or an independent, except in 2009. In 2009, Narayan Mankar contested from BVA, but observers feel Thakur could have won even when Thakur was not present. Thakur is expected to have a strong chance of winning again this year.
