Nimbalkar headed Thakur’s campaign during the 2009 assembly elections and contributed to her win. In an interview, while stating her reasons behind contesting Yashomati Thakur, Sanyogita said,
I was with Yashomati in 2004 and again in 2009. After her victory, we had some dreams and wanted to realize them, but couldn’t do so as Yashomati’s behaviour changed suddenly. Her way of politics changed. She became arrogant, started lying and insulted people. The way she started doing politics was disagreeable and difficult to see. It hurt me and I decided to contest to stop her.”
In the interview, Sanyogita also revealed that Yashomati was using “Thakur” as her surname for political benefit. She said that Yashomati’s actual surname was “Sonwane.” check sources The Times of India
