In a move set to redefine Maharashtra’s political landscape, Shiv Sena UBT has unveiled its much-awaited list of candidates ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024. With an array of seasoned veterans and promising newcomers, the party aims to make a resounding impact in the upcoming polls.
The first list, comprising 17 candidates, presents a strategic blend of experience and fresh perspectives. Notably, Anil Desai has been nominated for the South Central seat, while the incumbent MP Arvind Sawant will contest from South Mumbai. Adding an intriguing twist to the mix, Amol Kirtikar, son of former MP Gajanan Kirtikar, joins the fray from the North West constituency, following his father’s footsteps into the Shiv Sena after its split.
The roster of candidates spans various constituencies, each backed by a unique vision for progress and development:
- Buldhana: Prof. Narendra Khedekar
- Yavatmal-Washim: Sanjay Deshmukh
- Maval: Sanjog Waghere-Patil
- Sangli: Chandrahar Patil
- Hingoli: Nagesh Patil Ashtikar
- Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Chandrakant Khaire
- Dharashiv: Omraje Nimbalkar
- Shirdi: Bhausaheb Waghchore
- Nashik: Rajabhau Waje
- Raigad: Anant Gite
- Sindhudurg-Ratnagiri: Vinayak Raut
- Thane: Rajan Vichare
- Mumbai-North East: Sanjay Dina Patil
- Mumbai-South: Arvind Sawant
- Mumbai-South Central: Anil Desai
- Mumbai-North West: Amol Kirtikar
- Parbhani: Sanjay Jadhav
As Maharashtra gears up for the Lok Sabha elections, the schedule has been set across five phases spanning from April 19 to May 20, with results slated for announcement on June 4. This year’s polls, covering 543 constituencies nationwide over seven phases, promise to be a crucial juncture in India’s democratic journey.
Reflecting on the performance in the 2019 Lok Sabha Elections, the BJP and Shiv Sena, once allies, secured notable victories. However, ideological disparities led to their eventual parting of ways. In the upcoming polls, Shiv Sena UBT stands poised to carve its own path, fueled by a commitment to champion the aspirations of the people of Maharashtra.
