Slugfest Between Two Shinde Sena Leaders Over Lok Sabha Seat In Mumbai

The slugfest between Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena leaders - Gajanan Kirtikar and Ramdas Kadam - over the Northwest Mumbai Lok Sabha seat continued on Tuesday, prompting Chief Minister Shinde to intervene in the matter.

While Mr Kirtikar, a veteran leader and two-time MP from the constituency, wants to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls again, Mr Kadam is eyeing the seat for his son Siddhesh Kadam.

"Gajabhau (Kirtikar) had said that he will not contest the polls owing to his age. But how did he become young after Uddhav Thackeray declared his son (Amol Kirtikar) as a candidate for the seat. Is there a plan to get a ticket for your son from Eknath Shinde because you and your son operate from the same office," Mr Kadam said.
