Thane: A riveting electoral battle is shaping up in Thane where Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena has declared the candidature of Sena veteran late Anand Dighe’s nephew Kedar Dighe against Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.


Notably, Shinde hails late Dighe as his political mentor, emphasising his loyalty to the ideology of Bal Thackeray while targeting his arch rival Uddhav.


Kedar Dighe, who heads the Thane district unit of Shiv Sena (UBT), will face off against Shinde in the latter’s home constituency Kopri-Pachpakhadi.


The Shiv Sena (UBT) on Wednesday evening released its first list of 65 candidates for the November 20 Maharashtra assembly elections.


Former MP and Uddhav Thackeray loyalist Rajan Vichare has been fielded from the Thane assembly constituency against sitting BJP MLA Sanjay Kelkar. A triangular contest is on the cards in this constituency with the MNS giving a ticket to Avinash Jadhav.


Former deputy mayor Naresh Manera is the Shiv Sena (UBT)’s pick from the Ovala-Majiwada segment against Shinde Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik.
