This year, Abdul Sattar will be eyeing a third term in Sillod but as a Shiv Sena candidate. His arrival in the saffron fold seems to have upset some local leaders, including former Shiv Sena leader Harshwardhan Jadhav who is now contesting the election as an Independent candidate. According to reports, Jadhav’s house and car were recently vandalised after he passed some disapproving comments on Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray. Congress has fielded Kaisar Azad Shaikh against Abdul Sattar from the constituency.
