eknath shinde or kedar dighe again win kopri pachpakhadi seat or equation change

Maharashtra Assembly elections are quite interesting this time. Because the two political parties of the state, Shiv Sena and NCP, got defeated this time due to factionalism of their close ones and got divided into two parts. The command of Shiv Sena came into the hands of state CM Eknath Shinde, while the command of NCP came into the hands of Ajit Pawar. In such a situation, Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar were forced to form a new party and now Shiv Sena is known as UBT and NCP as SP. In this assembly election, for both Mahayuti and Mahavikas Aghadi, this election fight has become a question of prestige and a fight to save credibility. Kopri Pachpakhadi seat is one of the 288 assembly seats in Maharashtra, it comes in the hot seat of the state.

CM Shinde’s dominance

Kopri Pachpakhadi seat is one of the 288 assembly seats in the state. This seat has become the traditional seat of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Let us tell you that he is contesting elections for the fifth time from this seat. Shiv Sena’s Uddhav Thackeray faction has declared Kedar Dighe as its candidate against Eknath Shinde. Kedar Dighe of the Uddhav Thackeray faction is considered to be the nephew of veteran Shiv Sena leader Anand Dighe.

electoral history

Talking about the election history of the years 1978 and 1980, Kopri Pachpakhadi seat came in the share of INC (I). After this, from 1985 to 1999, the Bharatiya Janata Party candidate had won this seat. Then in the year 1995, Congress had planted the flag on this seat. Shiv Sena has dominated this seat from 2009 to 2019. In 2004, Eknath Shinde became MLA from Thana seat for the first time. When Kopri Pachpakhadi seat was formed in the year 2009, Eknath Shinde has been maintaining his dominance here. In such a situation, it will be very interesting to see whether Eknath Shinde will be able to maintain his magic here this time too or not.
