Shiv Sena, NCP slam Fadnavis for ‘campaigning against Marathi candidate’ in Belgaum
The Hindu
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said that political leaders from Maharashtra should not campaign against a Marathi-speaking candidate in Belgaum.
Two constituents of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) – Shiv Sena and NCP – on Friday criticised BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis for “campaigning against a Marathi-speaking candidate” for the Lok Sabha bypoll in Karnataka’s Belgaum, which continues to remain at the centre-stage of the decades-old border dispute between the two neighbouring States. The Parliamentary bypoll, which was necessitated following the death of Union Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi due to COVID-19 last year, will be held on Saturday. While Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said that political leaders from Maharashtra should not campaign against a Marathi-speaking candidate in Belgaum, Maharashtra NCP president and State Water Resources Minister Jayant Patil accused the BJP of betraying the Marathi people of that city in Karnataka. The bypoll will witness a straight fight between the BJP and the Congress, while the Shiv Sena is supporting the Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) candidate Shubham Shelke.
