The curtain has finally come down on the dance of democracy. Nagpur saw a close contest between Congress candidate Vilas Muttemwar and  BJP candidate Banwarilal Purohit . The BSP candidate Manikrao Vaidya also tried to gatecrash in this contest.  After the low turnout on April 16,  things looked bleak for Congress.  There was infighting within Nagpur congress, with a big section opposing Vilas Muttemwar's candidature. BJP tried to cash in on this - Banwarilal Purohit would have felt this was his best chance.  After the polls, even Vilas Muttemwar was candid in accepting the fact that infighting within Nagpur congress was a big dampner.
