Know the history of Dahisar assembly constituency
The history of this assembly seat is not very old. The contest on the new seat was seen only between Congress and BJP. Due to the split between the two big political parties in Maharashtra, Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress, a situation of confusion is being seen in the entire state. When BJP’s Manisha Chaudhary had won this seat in 2019, the now divided Shiv Sena was with the BJP. But in 2014, when Manisha Chaudhary had won for BJP, Shiv Sena was not with BJP, whereas Shiv Sena candidate Vinod Ghosalkar had also tried his hand from this seat and had to face defeat.
BJP has the upper hand
Shiv Sena’s rebellion in Maharashtra had no impact on the Bharatiya Janata Party on this seat. It cannot be said that BJP has the upper hand on this seat for now. But there is solace with the Shinde faction because of the murder of Vinod Ghosalkar’s son. At the same time, due to Shinde faction rebellion, the factor of sympathy vote of Thackeray with Shiv Sena can also work on this seat, meaning if Vinod Ghosalkar is the candidate from this seat then there can be problem for Manisha Choudhary.
