MUMBAI: Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut has invited Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to join an all-party delegation scheduled to meet Maharashtra Chief Electoral Officer S. Chockalingam on October 14, ahead of the upcoming local and civic body elections in the state.
The delegation will comprise senior leaders, including NCP (SP) chief Sharad Pawar, Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray, state Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal, and MNS founder Raj Thackeray, among others.
This will be the first such meeting of opposition and regional leaders following allegations of vote rigging during last year’s Assembly elections.
