In Latur district's November elections, Congress MLA brothers Amit and Dhiraj Deshmukh face BJP opponents, including Congress veteran Shivraj Patil Chakurkar's daughter-in-law, Archana. The Deshmukhs lean on their late father's political legacy, vying against the Mahayuti alliance amid challenges like water scarcity and unemployment.

Latur district is set for a political showdown as Congress MLA brothers Amit and Dhiraj Deshmukh take on their BJP challengers in the upcoming November elections. Their opponents include Archana Patil Chakurkar, the daughter-in-law of Congress stalwart Shivraj Patil Chakurkar.

The Deshmukhs are relying heavily on the political legacy of their late father, former Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, a leading figure from the region. Amit Deshmukh faces Archana Patil in Latur City, while Dhiraj squares off against BJP MLC Ramesh Karad in Latur Rural.

The election campaign is focusing on comparing the Congress's historical achievements in the area with those of the current Mahayuti administration. Key issues like water scarcity, unemployment, and Maratha reservation are pivotal as the parties clash for control.
