Shambhaji Raje withdraws nomination for RS polls

May 27, 2022 13:01

Sambhaji Raje withdraws his nomination for the Rajya Sabha elections. "I have withdrawn my nomination to avoid horse-trading. I'm a descendant of Shivaji Maharaj and I also have my own pride. I'll strengthen Swarajya organisation in Maharashtra," he says.

With Shiv Sena fielding Kolhapur district chief Sanjay Pawar for a Rajya Sabha seat instead of Sambhaji Raje, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena had announced its support to the former Parliamentarian.

Raju Patil, the lone MNS MLA, said he will extend his support or vote to Raje for the Upper House.
