What was happening in Kakasaheb Dixit's life and in Ahmednagar when he decided he must go to Shirdi?

At the time Kakasaheb Dixit felt an urgent need to visit Sai Baba, he was deeply involved in worldly affairs. As Chapter 51 explains, he was campaigning for a position on the Legislative Council, and this election was the sole topic of discussion. He had traveled to Ahmednagar to gather public support for his candidacy. Simultaneously, a horse show was taking place in the city, drawing various people, including Balasaheb Mirikar. Despite being busy with his election work, Dixit's primary focus shifted entirely to finding a way to get to Shirdi once his political tasks were completed.
