Ravindra Dhangekar

Ravindra Hemraj Dhangekar is an Indian politician from Pune, who previously served as a member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly from the Kasba Peth Assembly constituency. He won the seat in a by-election in March 2023, which was necessitated by the death of the incumbent BJP MLA Mukta Tilak. Dhangekar's victory on a Congress ticket was seen as a significant upset, ending the BJP's 28-year hold on the constituency. However, he lost the assembly elections from Kasba Peth to BJP candidate the following year.
