A few BJP workers from Navi Mumbai and Mira-Bhayander have resigned over the nomination of Naresh Mhaske of the Shiv Sena as Mahayuti candidate for the Thane Lok Sabha seat in Maharashtra.
Chief Minister Eknath Shinde announced the nomination which has caused dissatisfaction among BJP members, who believe that former MP Sanjeev Naik, son of former minister Ganesh Naik, was better prepared for the polls.
Mr. Mhaske’s nomination led to a heated meeting organised Mr. Ganesh Naik, during which party workers expressed their dismay, which was captured in a viral video on social media. On the other hand, Mr. Mhaske met Mr. Ganesh Naik to seek his blessings.
