The political landscape of Maharashtra is experiencing a dramatic turn of events as Shrinivas Vanga, a sitting MLA from Palghar and the only Shiv Sena lawmaker denied a ticket for the upcoming 2024 Assembly elections, has gone missing. Vanga, son of the late BJP MP Chintaman Vanga, has been unreachable since Monday evening, raising concerns among his family and colleagues.
According to reports, Vanga’s phone has been switched off for several hours, adding to the growing anxiety surrounding his whereabouts. Sources close to the family suggest that Vanga had been visibly upset in the past couple of days after the Shiv Sena, led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, decided to not renominate him for the upcoming elections. The denial of a ticket, particularly considering his family’s political legacy, seems to have deeply affected Vanga, leading to his sudden disappearance.
This development has sent shockwaves through the political circles of Maharashtra. While speculation is rife about the reasons behind Vanga’s disappearance, authorities have launched an investigation to locate the missing MLA. The situation is being closely monitored, and updates are expected as the search continues. This incident adds another layer of intrigue to the already complex political scenario in Maharashtra, particularly ahead of the crucial Assembly elections.
