With the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the political atmosphere in the state is heating up. All parties in the state are working together. At many places, tours are being held in Maharashtra under the leadership of party leaders. On the other hand, internal party meetings are also being held.
The assembly elections are due in the next few months. The Lok Sabha election will once again be a contest between the Mahayuti and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).
Ajit Pawar announced the names of his party's candidates at a rally in Maharashtra's Kolhapur. Addressing a rally in Kagal, Ajit Pawar appealed to the people to elect minister Hasan Mushrif with such a record number of votes that the front candidate should be defeated.
Meanwhile, it will be important to see what decision Samarjit Ghatge will take after Ajit Pawar announced Hasan Mushrif's candidature from Kagal. A few days ago, there were rumours that NCP chief Sharad Pawar would join the BJP. (Maharashtra Assembly Election 2024)
So, after Ajit Pawar announced Mushrif's candidature, will Samarjit Ghatge go to the Sharad Pawar group and challenge Mushrif directly? Discussion in this regard is underway.
This will be Hasan Mushrif's seventh election.
They have won five of the last six. He was defeated in the assembly elections.
