The BJP s struggle in Solapur is evident as the constituency continues to face water supply issues despite having a BJP MP for the past decade. With unresolved problems plaguing the region, the Congress sees an opportunity to gain an edge in the upcoming elections. Praniti Shinde, the Congress candidate and current Solapur City Central MLA, has garnered support from various communities, including Dalits, Veershaiva Lingayats, Dhangars, and Muslims.
