The fight is mainly among sitting MP Dhairyasheel Mane of the Shiv Sena, Satyajeet Patil-Sarudkar of the Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray faction of the Sena and Raju Shetti of the Swabhimaan Shetkari Paksh. The other two, Dadasaheb Chavgonda Patil of the Prakash Ambedkar-led Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) and farmer leader Raghunathdada Patil, could play spoilsport for any of the three.
