India, Feb. 24 -- Former Congress MLA Ravindra Dhangekar has called a meeting of his supporters on Tuesday adding fuel to speculation over switching party.

The speculation gained momentum after Dhangekar updated his social media status with a photo of himself wearing a saffron cap and muffler. Also, Shiv Sena leader Uday Samant during an event in the city on Saturday, said people like Dhangekar are welcome to the party.

When asked about a possible party switch, Dhangekar dismissed the claims, stating, "The photo was taken while celebrating Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti."

Sources indicated that Dhangekar has been in discussions with senior Shiv Sena leaders and is likely to join the party ahead of the upcoming local body elections...
