A bitter fight between Udayanraje and Shashikant Shinde leader



Harish Patne


The revolutionary Satara Lok Sabha Constituency, where the attention of the whole country is always in the historical constituency, the descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Shri. Ch. Udayanraje Bhosle and Shashikant Shinde of Sharad Pawar's NCP will see a bitter fight. Shashikant Shinde has been announced as the candidate of NCP. Mahayuti has not yet announced the candidature of Udayanraj, but since it is being said that Udayanraj will be the candidate from Mahayuti, this constituency will see a bitter fight.

Satara Lok Sabha Constituency was dominated by Congress since 1952. First Chief Minister of Maharashtra Yashwantrao Chavan led this constituency for a long time. Till the formation of NCP, this constituency remained with the Congress, with the exception of 1996. After the formation of NCP, Sharad Pawar's ideas remained in the Satara Lok Sabha Constituency until now. In every election since 1999, the Satara Lok Sabha constituency has sent a NCP candidate to the Lok Sabha. Laxmanrao Patil in 1999, 2004 and Chhatrapati Udayanraje Bhosale three times consecutively in 2009, 2014, 2019 were elected MPs by the people of Satarya on NCP ticket. Udayanraj, who was elected from NCP in 2019, resigned from his MP and joined BJP. Therefore, a by-election was held in this constituency. In this by-election, NCP candidate and close friend of Sharad Pawar, Srinivas Patil, who is standing on BJP ticket, Mr. Ch. Defeated Udayanaraje Bhosale. Even in the Modi wave, this constituency remained with Sharad Pawar.

The battle for the 2024 elections is going on in Satara Lok Sabha constituency. Rajya Sabha MP Shri. Ch. Udayanaraje Bhosale is interested. Mahayuti has not announced his candidature yet. However, even before the announcement of the candidature, Udayanraj has started campaigning. Meetings of Udayanraj are going to every taluka of Satara Lok Sabha constituency. Udayanraje seems to be summing up by correcting old mistakes.

come Shivendraraje Bhosale and Udayanaraje did not agree at all. However, due to Udayanraj's feelings expressed towards Shivendraraj on his birthday and his public apology, an atmosphere of reconciliation has once again been created between the two brothers. The meeting of Mahayuti held at Ajinkyatara factory on the initiative of Shivendra Raje witnessed the reconciliation of both brothers. This has been the best side for Udayanraj. BJP, a constituent party of the Grand Alliance, is seen working hard for Udayanraj's victory. However, the other constituent parties of the Grand Alliance, Ajit Pawar group of NCP, Shinde group of Shiv Sena, RIP are still not active in the campaign. Constituent parties have a policy of not participating in campaigning until the candidate is confirmed.

There was a lot of speculation about who Sharad Pawar would field against Udayan Raj. There was also a discussion that Sharad Pawar himself will contest. After Srinivas Patil refused to contest the election, Sharad Pawar had only two viable options, Balasaheb Patil and Shashikant Shinde. After Balasaheb Patil also refused to contest the Lok Sabha elections citing the reason of sugar factory, Shashikant Shinde announced that he is ready to contest the elections. Sharad Pawar also wanted to give ticket to Shashikant Shinde. Pawar wanted a strong alternative against Udayanraj. With the announcement of Shashikant Shinde's candidature, the atmosphere in Satara Lok Sabha constituency has heated up.

Shashikant Shinde is the leader of Mathadi. He has been the President of Satara District NCP Congress. He won the 1999, 2004 assembly elections from Javali. He won two assembly elections in 2009 and 2014 from Koregaon. In 2009, he defeated Shalinitai Patil. After that he also got a ministerial post. Mahesh Shinde defeated Shashikant Shinde in 2019 assembly elections. After that, Sharad Pawar gave him a chance on the Legislative Council. It is Shashikant Shinde who has stood against Udayanraj. Udayanraj has a huge fan base. Also the fan following of Shashikant Shinde is also there. Both are known as mass leaders. Both are known as muscle leaders. Therefore, the battle in Satara Lok Sabha constituency is of mass and muscle leaders. This battle is going to be very competitive. The sympathy for Sharad Pawar in the constituency, the support of Pawar's NCP from the Congress campaign, the participation of Shiv Sena Uddhav Thackeray group in the campaign and the public relations of Shashikant Shinde himself in the district are in favor of the NCP.

Booth management of Mahayuti is stronger than NCP. In the interim, the way BJP has planned for Wednesday, it will fall on Udayanraj's path. This is exactly where the NCP side is lame. Disagreements within the NCP have led to the fact that the NCP is still lagging behind the BJP in terms of Wednesday planning. However, as the election is still three weeks away, Sashikant Shinde, who is adept at speed, can also activate the booth management.

As the BJP has not yet announced the candidature of Udayan Rajen, there is uneasiness in the grand alliance, which is a losing side for the grand alliance. If the candidature is announced immediately, other constituent parties of the Grand Alliance may also participate in the campaigning process. As of now, neither side is aggressively campaigning. However, if there really is a fight like Shashikant Shinde against Udayan Raje, it is certain that the campaign and the election will go to extremes. Mass and Muscle Leaders play elections like a war game. Both Udayanraje and Shashikant Shinde are known as aggressive leaders in Maharashtra. Therefore, this battle of this Satara of revolutionaries will be unconditional and will attract the attention of the country.

Udayanraj's Phoenix Bharari...

Udayanaraje Bhosale, a descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has consistently struggled in politics. They never got anything easily. Defeats in the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections have also come to them. At the same time, he has also been an MP of Satara Lok Sabha Constituency for three consecutive terms. Even after the by-election defeat, Udayanraj did not stop meeting people. Udayanaraje does not forget those who have done for him. Even today, his fan base is huge. This is the biggest strength of Udayanaraj. That is why, although the candidature is not announced, Udayanraj has taken off like a phoenix bird.

Shashikant Shinde on Pawar whenever there is time

After Sharad Pawar formed the NCP, whenever he needed a candidate, it was Shashikant Shinde who came to his aid. After the formation of NCP in 1999, Sharad Pawar did not have a strong candidate in Javali assembly constituency. 18 people including Balasaheb Bhilare were interested in the election. Shashikant Shinde was leading Mathadis in Navi Mumbai at that time. Pawar brought Sashikant Shinde to Javali keeping in mind the number of Mathadis in Javali valley. Newcomer Shashikant Shinde then defeated Sadabhau Sapkal of Shiv Sena.

In 2009, Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha constituencies were restructured. Then again the subject of rehabilitation of Shashikant Shinde came up. Shalinitai Patil, then MLA of Koregaon assembly constituency, was aggressive against Sharad Pawar. Pawar wanted to defeat Shalinitai. At that time, the name that Pawar suggested was that of Shashikant Shinde. Shashikant Shinde left his rightful constituency and went to Koregaon defeating Shalinitai Patil. Now and again when everyone abandoned Sharad Pawar, Shashikant Shinde stood firmly by his side. When the picture appeared that no one is ready to fight from Satara constituency, the brave Shashikant Shinde has once again jumped into the battlefield for Sharad Pawar.
