New Delhi; Leading News Service: Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, Shiv Sena Shinde group leader and former MP Kripal Tumane made a serious allegation that he was denied the ticket only because BJP state president Chandrashekhar Bawankule put pressure on Chief Minister Eknath Shinde through Amit Shah. Due to this allegation, the Bawankule-Tuma dispute has ignited in the Mahayuti.
Tumane said that he is sorry that the seat of Ramtek has gone to Shiv Sena. It is because of Bavanukale that the candidate of Mahayuti got less votes from Kamathi. Bawankules are the real culprits of Shiv Sena's defeat. He said that he will complain to Amit Shah in this regard.
I understood that Bawankule told Amit Shah that if Tumane is given the ticket, he will not take the responsibility of getting him elected. In a party survey, 76 percent people favored my name. Tumane also claimed that only 1 percent people were in favor of Raju Parve.
