Palghar Lok Sabha Elections

Palghar Lok Sabha Constituency, is one of 48 Lok Sabha constituencies in the western state of Maharashtra and will cast its vote in the 2019 election on April 29.

Votings for Lok Sabha election will happen in 4 phases in Maharashtra – April 11, April 18, April 23 and April 29 and the counting will be held on May 23.

Palghar constituency came into existence following delimitation in 2008. It covers six assembly segments – Dahanu, Vikramgad, Palghar, Boisar, Nalasopara and Vasai. Dahanu, Vikramgad, Palghar, Boisar constituencies are reserved for the members of Scheduled Castes.

In the 2014 Lok Sabha election, Chintaman Vanaga of the Bharatiya Janata Party – won with a huge margin of over 2.39 lakh votes. He had defeated Baliram Jadhav of the Bahujan Vikas Aaghadi. While Vanaga had secured 533201 votes Jadhav got 293681 votes.
