Shrikant Shinde, son of chief minister Eknath Shinde and a Shiv Sena MP, will contest from Kalyan in the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, said Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, on Saturday.

Fadnavis dismissed any suggestion of discord within the Mahayuti alliance, reaffirming that Shrikant Shinde is the Mahayuti's candidate in Kalyan. Mahayuti is made up of the BJP, Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in Maharashtra, reported ANI.
