Dhairyashil Mohite Patil is set to join the Madha Lok Sabha race as a candidate for the NCP, marking a significant change in Maharashtra's political scene. His alliance with the Sharad Pawar-led group could pose a strong challenge to the BJP in Western Maharashtra.
Despite MLA Ranjitsinh Mohite Patil's affiliation with the BJP, other members of the Mohite Patil family are expected to switch sides to join Sharad Pawar's faction. The family's discontent with the BJP's decision not to nominate Dhairyashil Mohite Patil has led to growing support for him in the constituency, with some party members urging him to run under the NCP banner. An anticipated showdown with Ranjitsinh Nimbalkar is likely to be a closely fought battle, given Mohite Patil's significant voter base in Malshiras taluka during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
