Denied BJP Ticket From Mumbai’s Borivali, Gopal Shetty Announces To Contest As Independent

Gopal Shetty, a former MP and BJP leader, has announced that he will run as an independent candidate for the Borivali Assembly seat after the party denied him a ticket. The decision to field Sanjay Upadhyay instead of him has sparked protests by local BJP workers who are demanding a representative from the area. Shetty, who has been a loyal party worker for a long time, expressed disappointment over not being given the ticket and emphasized the importance of having a local candidate from Borivali. Despite the setback, Shetty’s supporters have encouraged him to contest independently.
