Mumbai, Jan. 5 -- The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) has extended support to independent candidate Dinesh Jadhav, who will be contesting against former BJP MP Kirit Somaiya's son Neil Kirit Somaiya from ward number 107 (Mulund East). The NCP (SP), which is in alliance with the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the MNS for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) poll, had insisted on the seat earlier, said Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut. The candidature of NCP (SP)'s Bharat Vananis was, however, rejected during scrutiny of nomination forms. "I had smelt a rat. Hence, I had filed nomination as an independent," said Jadhav, a member of Shiv Sena (UBT). BJP spokesperson Navnath Ban said Kirit Somaiya had exposed the Sena (UBT)'s corruption. "That is why they could not find a candidate against his son, Neil," Ban said. yogesh naik...
