Maharashtra Elections 2024: A big upsurge is being seen in the voting for the assembly elections in Maharashtra. Senior Congress leader Sushil Kumar Shinde and his daughter Praniti Shinde have supported independent candidate Dharamraj Kadadi from Solapur South seat. So the candidate fielded by Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena here is part of the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance with the Congress.
The thing to note here is that everyone is surprised by this decision of Sushil Kumar Shinde. It remains to be seen what impact his support has on this seat. Sushil Kumar Shinde had come to cast his vote and when he came out of the booth with his daughter, he announced his support to the independent candidate.
Dharamraj is a good candidate: Sushil Kumar Shinde
Giving information about his stand, Sushil Kumar Shinde said, ‘I believe that Dharamraj Kadadi is a good candidate and will perform well for the area in future. Initially, Dilip Mane seemed to be getting a chance from Congress, but he did not get the AB form. So now we have decided to support Dharamraj ourselves. He said that Congress has a strong base here. In such a situation, it is wrong for this seat to go to Uddhav Sena’s account.
Mahavikas Aghadi alliance
Former Home Minister of the country Sushil Kumar Shinde said, ‘This area has been a stronghold of Congress. I have been elected from here and have got the opportunity to work as the CM of Maharashtra. Shiv Sena had declared Amar Patil as its candidate from here in a little haste. But his claim will not last from here. Congress has continued to hold this seat and has also maintained its victory. In such a situation, it is beyond comprehension that this seat will go to Shiv Sena’s account. Then his daughter Praniti also confirmed that what her father said was true.
Shinde said that the Solapur South seat has historically been with the Congress. Praniti said that it is called the stronghold of Congress and the CM has also won from here. Till now we were following Aghadi religion from here. But unlike Pandharpur, friendly competition was not possible here. Therefore we have decided to support the independent candidate.
