Shiv Sena candidate Manoj Singh has alleged that SS ward president and corporator of ward no. 135 asked him for Rs. 20 lakhs for a ticket. He has blamed ward president Arjun Shinde, corporator Shantaram Patil and divisional head Rajendra Raut of demanding money. “I paid Rs. 10 lakhs in advance and the remaining money Rs. 5 lakhs I paid in cheque,” said corporator Manoj Singh.

Moreover allegations against a ruling party will give fodder to the other parties to cash in on this controversy.
Manoj Singh has written a letter to the SS president Uddhav Thackeray regarding the same .
