Amidst speculations about Dhairyashil Mohite Patil switching sides from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to NCP-SP, Pawar has still not announced its candidate yet, said party leaders.

Before the 2019 general election, Vijaysingh Mohite Patil along with his followers joined the BJP and after denial of a ticket in 2024 again Mohite Patil family is seeking to knock doors of the NCP.

The BJP here has fielded Ranjitsinh Naik Nimbalkar, whose candidature has resulted in heartburn among many local leaders of BJP as well as other alliance partners. The BJP on its part has already started making efforts to convince Vijaysinh Mohite Patil to stay with the party. Vijaysinh is Dhairyasheel Patil’s uncle.

After Mahadev Jankar joined the Mahayuti alliance, it seemed to be difficult to file the right candidate from Madha to the NCP-SP.
