Akela

BHARTIYA Janata Party’s (BJP) strong leader Nitin Gadkari is the hot favourite for bookies and punters for the post of the next Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Shiv Sena (SS) President Uddhav Thackeray has been kept as an optional Chief Minister in the Satta market.

On October 15 as the voting ended the bookies open new rates party wise and also Chief Minister’s candidate.

However, speaking to ABI (abinet.org), Mumbai based a top bookie from Gujarat revealed that the quote for the number of seats the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is estimated around 140 seats.

Satta Bazar is “fairly confident” that no single party will be able to get a majority. They are also not ruling out chances of a hung assembly. Bookies are sure that BJP will win around 140 seats. Like that Shiv Sena 65, Congress 35, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) 32 and Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Nav Nirman Sena (MNS) 5.

However, on Thursday the Union Minister of Transport and Rural Development, Nitin Gadkari has made it clear that he is not a contender for the post of Maharashtra Chief Minister and he does not want to go back to his home state but he is hot favourite for bookies with 70 paisa. Against public expectation Devendra Phadnavis is on second stage with Rs 2.15. Late BJP leader Gopinath Munde’s daughter Pankaja Munde, who has herself declared as next CM on third stage with Rs 5.50. Bookies have mentioned one more name-Eknath Khadse-as the next CM with Rs 7.50.

Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray is an optional CM for bookies. Shiv Sena will be second largest party in this election but will be not able to form a government. If Congress and NCP will support Shiv Sena from outside then Uddhav Thackeray will be CM and then his rate is Rs 4.00.

An estimated betting worth over Rs.2, 000 crore has taken place in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane. Bookies had declared Friday as last day of betting.

Sources said most of Gujarati community men are involved in betting world. Jayanti Malad, Laxmichand Thane alias LT, Ashok Bhatia, Babbu Lotus, Satpal Singh alias Pali and Devendra Kothari are main bookies that are betting for Chief Minister Post. Few bookies are accepting bet from Bandra, Kandivali, Malad, Thane and Dombivali. Sources said among them two bookies are being protected by two NCP leaders – one from Thane and second from Matunga.
