Amid the ongoing tussle between Shiv Sena and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kirit Somaiya, the Sena yet again highlighted their opposition against Somaiya contesting Lok Sabha election from Mumbai North-East seat. Somaiya is the sitting MP from the same LS constituency.
In a meeting, several Shiv Sena leaders on Tuesday raised their complaints against the BJP MP to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and opposed the idea of Somaiya contesting the LS poll which will be held in April this year.
