Digras Assembly Election 2024: Maharashtra is abuzz with political activity as the state gears for its assembly elections, set to take place on November 20. With results scheduled to be announced on November 23, the political landscape is heating up, and the Digras Assembly constituency has emerged as a key battleground. Digras is one of the Assembly constituencies in Maharashtra. The constituency is a general category seat. The Shiv Sena and the Congress are the main parties in the constituency. The battle for this seat has drawn significant attention, with two prominent leaders vying for dominance: Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena's Sanjay Rathod and senior Congress leader Manikrao Govindrao Thakre.
Shiv Sena's Sanjay Rathod Vs Congress' Manikrao Thakre
Sanjay Rathod, a prominent Shiv Sena leader and the sitting MLA from Digras, is seeking to retain his stronghold for the third consecutive time. Known for his grassroots connection and influence in the Yavatmal district, Rathod represents the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde. His campaign focuses on continuity in development projects and addressing agrarian issues, a key concern for voters in this largely rural constituency. Meanwhile, Congress leader Manikrao Govindrao Thakre has entered the race, adding a competitive edge to the contest. A former MLA from the neighbouring Darwha constituency, Thakre represented the Indian National Congress in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly from 1985 to 2004.
