Bhaiyya Mane revolted because the Pune Graduates' constituency seat in Kolhapur is likely to go to the BJP, shattering his belief that he would receive the MahaYuti ticket despite years of rigorous preparation and voter registration. Unwilling to darken his future or let down his workers, he resolved to contest the election independently.
In his viral letter to Minister Hasan Mushrif, Bhaiyya Mane expressed that if the late Ajit Dada Pawar were still alive, this situation of separation and rebellion would not have happened. He noted that Ajit Dada had previously announced his candidacy and led meetings for his graduate voter registration before his passing.
