Maharashtra Navirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray on Sunday requested Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis not to field a BJP candidate against Rutuja Latke in the upcoming Andheri East Assembly bypolls in respect to the late MLA Ramesh Latke.
Ahead of the Andheri East bye-election, Eknath Shinde camp MLA on Sunday writes to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde requesting to speak with BJP for an unopposed election of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) candidate Rutuja Latke.
The bye-poll is taking place due to the fact that Latke's husband passed away in May this year. He was a Shiv Sena MLA before the party split up in June this year
