Raj Thackeray hails Fadnavis for withdrawing the BJP's candidate from the Andheri East by-election

- 17 Oct 2022
Raj Thackeray, the leader of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, congratulated Devendra Fadnavis on Monday for the BJP's decision to withdraw its candidate from the Mumbai by-election for the Andheri East Assembly seat. In a letter to Fadnavis, Thackeray addressed the senior BJP official as his "dear friend" and stressed the importance of maintaining a civil political environment.
The spread of such a great culture, he claimed, is always supported by the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). Thackeray added, "I am grateful that you answered this (request). On Sunday, Thackeray sent Fadnavis a second letter in which he pleaded with the BJP to withdraw from the by-election in honour of the late Shiv Sena MLA Ramesh Latke, whose passing prompted it.
Heart failure caused Latke's death in May of this year. Rutuja Latke, the wife of Ramesh Latke, was competing against Murji Patel, the candidate for the BJP who withdrew his candidacy papers on Monday. Sharad Pawar, the leader of the NCP, had also pleaded with all parties to ensure that Rutuja Latke was elected without opposition. With Patel withdrawing from the by-election, Rutuja Latke's victory in the elections on November 3 is now only a formality.
