MP who hit Air India staff not in Shiv Sena candidate list
Mumbai Mar 22 (UNI): Shiv Sena on Friday declared a list of 21 candidates for the Lok Sabha poll, while dropping the ticket to Ravindra Gaikwad who had allegedly hit an Air India staffer in 2017.
Gaikwad, 59, had hit an Air India staffer with a slipper at the IGI airport in Delhi and then openly boasted about it. The Sena has replaced Gaikwad with Omraje Nimbalkar in Osmanabad constituency.
The party named Hemant Patil as its nominee in the Hingoli seat, dropping Ashok Wankhede who lost to Congress candidate Rajeev Satav in 2014.
According to the seat-sharing pact between the BJP and the Sena, the latter will contest 23 LS seats, leaving 25 for its senior alliance partner.
