The first major reverse defection this election season was seen as Unmesh Patil, a sitting MP of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), who was denied a Lok Sabha poll ticket from Jalgaon, will join the Shiv Sena (UBT) on Wednesday. Later, he will file his nomination.
Former MLA Vinod Ghosalkar, who recently lost his son Abhishek in tragic circumstances, told this correspondent that the SS (UBT) will contest the election in the Mumbai North constituency too. On the other hand, Congress district president Kalu Budhelia has also gone on record to this correspondent, claiming that his party has already asked him to start his campaign work in the Mumbai North constituency.
