Maharashtra Assembly Elections: The second list of candidates of the Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena (UBT) has been released with 15 names. Former Mayor of Mumbai Shraddha Jadhav has been fielded from the Wadala Assembly constituency against eight-time MLA Kalidas Kolambkar of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Kolambkar was earlier in the Shiv Sena and the Congress. He joined the BJP in 2019.
From Dhule city, the Shiv Sena (UBT) has fielded former BJP MLA Anil Gote, who recently switched from the Lok Sangram Party. This could create problems in the Maha Vikas Aghadi as Sharad Pawar’s NCP is reportedly unhappy with the induction of Anil Gote into the alliance.
Another fight to watch out for would be the Kalyan East assembly seat contest. Former Deputy Mayor at Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation Dhananjay Bodare has been fielded against BJP’s Sulabha Gaikwad, the wife of jailed MLA Ganpat Gaikwad.
