Sandeep Deshpande gets ticket from Worli in the first list
In the first list, the party has given ticket to MNS spokesperson and former corporator Sandeep Deshpande from Worli. Deshpande will face Aditya Thackeray in Worli. After fielding the candidate from MNS, this seat has become a hot seat. Now it remains to be seen whether MNS’s Deshpande is able to challenge Aditya Thackeray in the elections or not. Last year, MNS had not fielded any candidate from Worli seat.
‘If given a chance, we will try to bring the two brothers together’
Seeds of election equations: MNS leader Bala Nandgaonkar gave a big statement on Friday. He said that if he gets a chance, he will try to bring Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray together. Nandgaonkar said this while speaking to the media after filing his nomination as the Raj Thackeray-led MNS candidate from Mumbai’s Shivdi assembly seat.
In response to the question of bringing the two brothers together, he said that I have done this before and will do so in future too if I get a chance. Although he is a soldier of MNS, he is also a soldier of late Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray. Nandgaonkar came into limelight in the 1990s after defeating Chhagan Bhujbal. Then Bhujbal left Shiv Sena and joined Congress.
