The dispute intensified after Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) leader Tanaji Sawant directly entered the Tuljapur constituency of BJP MLA Rana Jagjitsingh Patil. Sawant provided two lakh rupees in financial assistance to the family of Gunwant Ganpat Kshirsagar, a local farmer who committed suicide due to severe drought and financial distress. This move was a direct response to Rana Patil and his son Malhar Patil previously touring Sawant's Paranda constituency and distributing fifty thousand rupees each to two families.
Gunwant Ganpat Kshirsagar was a farmer from Sindphal in Tuljapur taluka who committed suicide by consuming poison in his soybean field due to severe drought and financial difficulties. Following his death, which left his family destitute, Shiv Sena leader Tanaji Sawant provided the family with immediate financial assistance of two lakh rupees and reassured them over the phone.
The political friction in Dharashiv primarily involves the Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), both of which are partners in the Mahayuti alliance. Key figures in this local dispute include Shiv Sena MP Omraje Nimbalkar and MLA Tanaji Sawant on one side, and BJP MLA Rana Jagjitsingh Patil on the other.
