Maheshwari, is a resident of Madhapur, a town close to the main city of Kutch. He has been with the Congress for over two decades, and contested elections at all levels of government, from block to the state Assembly.
Dharmesh Patel has been nominated for the Navsari seat in south Gujarat, who will be fighting it out against the BJP stalwart C.R. Patil. The contest in Gujarat is primarily between the two main parties.
The Congress had earlier declared candidates for Ahmedabad West, Anand, Vadodara and Chhota Udaipur seats for the Lok Sabha elections.
