Speaking at a press conference here, Mr. Bhujbal said during the seat-sharing talks with the ruling allies Shiv Sena and BJP, NCP chief and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar staked claim to the Nashik seat, saying that his party had more MLAs in the region.
"When we were asked about the candidate, the name of former MP [Chhagan Bhujbal's nephew] Sameer Bhujbal was proposed. But [BJP leader] Amit Shah said I should contest even though I had not asked for a ticket," he said.
CM Shinde, however, demanded the seat as the incumbent MP is from his party, Mr. Bhujbal added.
