Kedar Dighe's Ambitious Bid to Overthrow Thane's Strongman

Shiv Sena (UBT) candidate Kedar Dighe aims to defeat Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in the upcoming assembly elections. Leveraging the legacy of his uncle Anand Dighe and founder Bal Thackeray, Dighe challenges Shinde's leadership and highlights issues in Thane, including unemployment and poor urban planning.

Kedar Dighe, the Shiv Sena (UBT) candidate for the Kopri-Pachpakhadi assembly seat, has exuded confidence in his ability to challenge Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in the upcoming elections.

Dighe, who carries the legacy of his uncle, the late Anand Dighe, called Shinde's development vision flawed and criticized his failure to engage stakeholders effectively, citing issues like unemployment and unauthorized constructions in Thane. He promised a resolve to tackle these long-standing problems.

In an interview, Dighe asserted that his focus would be on creating jobs for youth and improving welfare in Thane. He questioned Shinde's leadership style, urging for genuine involvement rather than electoral rhetoric, and expressed hope for support from youth and senior citizens alike.
