Sena drops MP Gaikwad who slapped Air India staffer

There are not too many surprises in the Shiv Sena’s first list of 21 candidates announced on Friday for the Lok Sabha elections. The Sena dropped controversial member of Parliament (MP) from Osmanabad, Ravindra Gaikwad, who had hit an Air India staffer at New Delhi airport in 2017. Besides, it has made a change in the Hingoli constituency by nominating its member of the Legislative Assembly from the area.

Mr. Gaikwad has been replaced by Om Raje Nimbalkar, the political opponent of the Nationalist Congress Party strongman Padma Sinh Patil, whose son Rana Jagjit Sinh will be contesting.

Nanded MLA Hemant Patil has been nominated in Hingoli against sitting MP Rajeev Satav from Congress, whose name has not been officially announced by the Congress yet. Mr. Patil was nominated after dropping Ashok Wankhede who lost to Mr. Satav in 2014.
