The ruling Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena faction is facing trouble over its candidate selection.
On April 04, the party dropped sitting its sitting Hingoli MP Hemant Patil, whose name had already been announced as the Mahayuti’s candidate, and replaced him with Baburao Kadam Kohlikar who filed his nomination on Thursday.
The party also dropped Bhavana Gawli, the Sena’s five-term MP from Yavatmal-Washim.
