The Shiv Sena’s candidates for the coming Rajya Sabha polls - Sanjay Raut and Sanjay Pawar - filed their nominations on Thursday. Mr. Raut remarked that the Sena would win both seats.
Mr. Raut, the Sena’s chief spokesperson and an old Rajya Sabha hand, filed his nomination in the presence of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, NCP chief Sharad Pawar and senior Congressman Balasaheb Thorat with all Sena legislators and MPs in attendance.
“I can say without doubt that this time both candidates of the Sena will go to the Rajya Sabha. All four MVA candidates will coast to victory,” he stated.
