Summary:
Former Shiv Sena MP Bhausaheb Wakchaure is fighting as an independent against incumbent Shiv Sena MP Sadashiv Lokhande and Bhausaheb Kamble (Congress) in Shirdi. Let us take the example of Dr Suhas Natawadkar, who is contesting as an independent against Dr Heena Gavit of the BJP from Nandurbar. Kokate's rebellion also has an undercurrent of local rivalry between the Shiv Sena and BJP. Similarly, former Shiv Sena MLA Harshvardhan Jadhav has split from his party and is contesting as an independent against Chandrakant Khaire (Sena), who is vying for his fifth successive term. Rebel Congress MLA Abdul Sattar has also withdrawn his nomination..
