The BJP Friday announced candidature of Ranjit Naik Nimbalkar from Madha in Western Maharashtra.
This constituency in Solapur district will see a contest between NCP's Sanjay Shinde and Nimbalkar who joined the BJP only last week.
Nimbalkar was earlier the district chief of the Congress.
Polling will be held in Madha on April 23, the third phase.
NCP supremo Sharad Pawar won from Madha in 2009 when the constituency came into existence following delimitation, and in 2014 it was won by NCP's Vijaysinh Mohite-Patil.
