The Biloli Assembly constituency in Nanded district is a bit of a historical "phantom" constituency because it technically no longer exists in the way it used to.
Here is the breakdown of what happened to it and who is in charge now:
Following the Delimitation of 2008, the Biloli constituency was abolished. It was largely merged with parts of the surrounding area to create the Deglur Assembly constituency (Constituency No. 90). Because of this, when people look for the "MLA of Biloli" today, they are actually looking for the MLA of Deglur.[2]
2. Current Representative (2024–Present)
As of the most recent elections in late 2024, the sitting MLA for the area (Deglur-Biloli) is:
- Member: Jitesh Antapurkar
- Party: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
- Note: He won the seat in 2024, having previously held it as a member of the Congress (INC) following a 2021 by-election.
3. Historical Context
Before the 2008 reorganization, Biloli was a stronghold for various leaders. Notably, Bhaskarrao Bapurao Patil Khatgaonkar (a major political figure in Nanded) represented Biloli multiple times in the 90s and 2000s. You might also see the name Gahininath Banda Maharaj Degloorkar in older records, as he contested from here for the Shiv Sena in the 90s.
