Will the general elections see a father-son face-off in the city? Member of Parliament Gajanan Kirtikar, who is associated with the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, made it clear that he would contest the Lok Sabha election from North West Mumbai, while his son Amol Kirtikar is also eager to contest from the same constituency, if his party asks him to do so.
After the split in the Shiv Sena, Gajanan Kirtikar shifted his loyalty to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, while his son Amol continued with former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. The senior Kirtikar is a two-time MP from the North West Mumbai constituency and is willing to contest the LS election again. “The elections are not in sight, yet, but yes I`m interested in contesting. We have faith in CM Shinde and I am continuing to work for the constituency,” said Gajanan Kirtikar.
On the other hand, his son Amol did not deny the possibility of contesting the LS election from the North West constituency. “I will abide by the party’s decision. Though there is ample time for the elections, I can contest in any constituency whether it`s Lok Sabha or Vidhan Sabha. My party chief Uddhav Thackeray will decide,” he said.
