The battle of Lok Sabha elections has been going on for the last two months. The voting process went through a total of seven stages. The ruling and opposition parties would have exerted all their might to make the candidate victorious. In some places there was only fame and in others there was a taste of infamy. Maharashtra Shiv Senela Havya could not attract so much attention. This is BJP’s crime. Nationalist Congress Party led by Ajit Pawar won. Meanwhile, Mumbai’s North West constituency remains in the limelight. Vijay’s head sometimes tilted to one side and sometimes to the other when there was confusion about the place for some reason. A bitter fight will begin between Thackeray’s Amol Kirtikar and Shiv Sena’s Ravindra Vykar. It was not clear who would win till the last stage. At this level, voter Ravindra Vaikar would have been leading by just one vote in the EVM machine. He got 47 votes in the postal ballot and defeated Amol Kirthikar by 48 votes. Ravindra Vykar comes to the Lok Sabha shaking Shiv Sena’s hand.
Who is Ravindra Vaikar?
Shiv Sena’s Ravindra Vaikar was elected to the Municipal Corporation for the first time in 1992. After that he was elected as corporator four times. He held the post of Corporator Bhushwalan for 20 consecutive years. Seeing his performance, Bhushwalan was given the post of Chairman of the Standing Committee during 2006-2010. Seeing his performance, the party decided to send him to the assembly. In 2009, 2014 and 2019, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly from Jogeshwari East constituency for three consecutive terms. He was famous as a great confidant of Uddhav Thackeray. When the Shiv Sena BJP government came to power in 2014, he was given the charge as Minister of State for Housing and Higher and Technical Education. After that, there was a possibility that Vaikar has a cabinet in the Mahavikas Aghadi government, which was formed in 2019. Only the Minister of State for Housing came to his notice. Vikar has a big strength in the Mumbai North West constituency. He voted in the Lok Sabha.
Rabindra Vykar would have been with Uddhav Thackeray only after the Shiv Sena was taken over by Eknath Shinde. The Thackeray group would have entrusted him with Nanded, Hingoli, Parbhani or constituencies for his Lok Sabha elections. In the meantime he was accused of some misconduct. He repeatedly inquired about ED. Meanwhile, Ravindra Vaikar decided to give the lot to Uddhav Thackeray. On March 10, 2024, he once again took up the bow and arrow of the Shiv Sena under the leadership of Eknath Shinde.
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde expressed confidence in Ravindra Vaikar and announced him as his candidate from the North West constituency. Ekade Gajanan Kirtikar’s son Amol Kirtikar was told that the fight would be tough when he was born. Agdi jhalanhi atsi.. only 48 votes were won by Farkani Vaikar. Ravindra Vykar got 4,52,644 votes while Amol Kirthikar got 4,52,596 votes. Ravindra Vaikar won with 48 runs. Vaikar is likely to get a ministerial post in the next NDA government.
