MNS chief Raj Thackeray released the list of candidates on Tuesday evening.

The party has issued a ticket to Kishor Shinde from Kothrud. The previous time he faced BJP leader Chandrakant Patil, all parties supported him. However, Shinde’s candidature will likely hurt Maha Vikas Agadi’s chances since anti-BJP votes will be split between the MNS and MVA candidates.

Mayuresh Wanjale, the son of late MLA Ramesh Wanjale, has been given a ticket from the Khadakwasla constituency by MNS. Sainath Babar, the party’s city unit chief, will run for election in the Hadapsar constituency.
