As Sada Sarvankar, Shiv Sena candidate from Mahim, is firm on contesting election and in no mood of withdrawal of his candidacy, BJP MLC Prasad Lad has extended his support to MNS candidate Amit Thackeray in Mahim.

Lad stated, “Amit Thackeray is our son. We will campaign for him and ensure his victory.” He also referred to Sarvankar as a senior leader and the president of the Siddhivinayak Temple, hinting that Chief Minister Eknath Shinde might provide Sarvankar with an opportunity in the Legislative Council, which could lead Sarvankar to consider withdrawing his candidacy.

Lad further noted that they would support MNS, acknowledging past assistance from the party.
