BJP's 'back Raj son' call raises heat

The BJP has asked Sena MLA Sada Sarvankar to withdraw his nomination, but he has refused.

Sources said Chief Minister Eknath Shinde called Sarvankar to his official residence at Varsha bungalow on Sunday and asked him to withdraw his nomination and extend support to Amit. The meeting was reportedly attended by deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis. However, Sarvankar stuck to his ground.

Sarvankar repeatedly stuck to his claim over the seat saying he has represented it many terms. "If BJP is really concerned about Amit Thackeray, it should offer him an MLC seat from its quota so that he doesn't have to contest the election. I will not change my decision," he said. "BJP should not put pressure on me," he added.
