Congress has again fielded Bunty. The seat is of Nagpur Central.
The headquarters of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the mother organization of Bharatiya Janata Party, is in Nagpur Central. Meaning all the big stalwarts of the Sangh sit here. The vote of the Sangh chief is also in this assembly.
Apart from this, the fort of Raja Bhosale of Nagpur is also in this area. Nagpur is also known because of business in the central seat. Most of the big markets of the city are under this area.
