Maharashtra polls: Political tensions rise over Kalyan East ticket
Shiv Sena City President Mahesh Gaikwad threatens to run as an independent if BJP gives Kalyan East ticket to jailed MLA Ganpat Gaikwad or his family. Ganpat, currently incarcerated for a shooting incident, has failed, according to Mahesh, to deliver city development. This adds tension to the Mahayuti alliance ahead of polls.
