The political landscape in Kasba Peth is heating up as the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has thrown a curveball by announcing Ganesh Bhokare as their candidate for the upcoming Maharashtra Legislative Assembly elections. This unexpected move has caught many off guard, as Bhokare’s name and the MNS’s involvement in Kasba Peth were not previously on anyone’s radar.
The by-election in Kasba Peth, triggered by the unfortunate passing of MLA Mukta Tilak, saw Congress’s Ravindra Dhangekar emerge victorious. This victory was significant as it broke the stronghold that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had in the constituency for the past three decades.
Now, with the upcoming elections, Dhangekar will once again be representing Congress, while the MNS has put forward Bhokare as their candidate. Adding to the mix is former mayor Kamal Vyavhare, who is running under the banner of Swarajya Sanghatan, a new party founded by Sambhaji Raje Chhatrapati.
The BJP is also gearing up for a fierce battle in Kasba Peth, with either Dheeraj Ghate or Hemant Rasane expected to be the frontrunners for the party’s ticket. With multiple strong contenders in the fray, the upcoming elections in Kasba Peth are sure to be closely watched and highly contested. Stay tuned for more updates on this intriguing political race.
