The cold war between BJP leaders that is playing out around Navratri celebrations has become more intense over “donations”. On Tuesday, BJP Member of Parliament from North Mumbai Gopal Shetty urged citizens and businessmen to refrain from making any donations without verifying with his office whether there was any such request or requirement. The leaders are in a race to woo voters in the run-up to the BMC polls.
A message sent out by Shetty’s office that mid-day accessed reads, “This year many of them have organised grand Navratri festivals celebration. If anyone is asking for donations under the pretext of my name, please contact my office and verify the same [sic].”
