Key Battlegrounds in Thane
In Thane, Kedar Dighe, who leads the Thane district unit of Shiv Sena (UBT), will challenge Shinde in his stronghold of Kopri-Pachpakhadi. This constituency is of particular interest given Shinde's respect for Anand Dighe, who he considers his political mentor. Despite this, Shinde often emphasizes his commitment to Bal Thackeray’s ideology while targeting Uddhav, his chief rival.
Another notable contest in Thane is the nomination of former MP Rajan Vichare to vie against sitting BJP MLA Sanjay Kelkar. This adds a layer of competition, especially with the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) fielding Avinash Jadhav in the same constituency. Meanwhile, former deputy mayor Naresh Manera will represent the UBT from the Ovala-Majiwada segment, challenging Pratap Sarnaik, the sitting MLA from Shinde’s faction.
