As the assembly elections’ poll dates are nearing, the leaders and star campaigners of almost all the major political parties are visiting Pune to promote their candidates. On November 9, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray will address a public rally in Kasba and Kothrud assembly constituencies to promote MNS candidates Ganesh Bhokre and Kishor Shinde.

MNS has fielded Ganesh Bhokre from the Kasba assembly constituency against current Congress MLA Ravindra Dhangekar and BJP candidate Hemant Rasane. While Kishor Shinde is contesting from the Kothrud assembly constituency against minister Chandrakant Patil and Chandrakant Mokate of Shiv Sena (UBT).

Raj Thackeray will attend a public rally in Kasba at around 5:00 p.m., while the rally in Kothrud will possibly start at around 6:00 p.m. The MNS contestants and party workers are excited to listen to Raj Thackeray. In his speech at the public rallies, Thackeray will target the current Mahayuti government and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).

It is highly anticipated that Raj Thackeray will target current Kasba MLA Ravindra Dhangekar, who was also a senior MNS party leader earlier. Later, Dhangekar left MNS and joined the Congress party.
