In Thane’s Kopari-Pachpakhadi assembly constituency, three-time winner Eknath Shinde will face off against his mentor Anand Dighe’s nephew, Kedar Dighe. <br /><br />Shinde has been an MLA from the Kopari-Pachpakhadi constituency three times since 2009. He served as Thane’s guardian minister and was a local civic body corporator, starting as a rookie Sena worker in the 80s under Dighe’s guidance. Kedar, a former software analyst, left his SAP job to join Sena full-time in 2010. He led the party’s youth wing in Thane and is now its district in-charge. <br /><br />His nomination has energised the small group of Dighe loyalists in Thane who have remained with Thackeray’s Sena.<br /><br />Reporter: Shweta Desai<br />camera: Dinesh Parab<br />Editor: Sudhanshu<br /><br />Follow us:<br />Website: https://www.outlookindia.com/<br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Outlookindia<br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outlookindia/<br />X: https://twitter.com/Outlookindia<br />Whatsapp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaNrF3v0AgWLA6OnJH0R<br />Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@OutlookMagazine<br />Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/outlookindia<br /><br />#MaharashtraElections2024 #ShivSena #NCP #Congress #EknathShinde #AjitPawar #MarathiAsmita #Maharashtra #UddhavThackeray #SharadPawar #Thane
