I was told several times that Uday Bane himself was willing, not because Shiv Sena (Ubhata) party office-bearers had decided, so he was in the running for the nomination. We discussed several times that he should stay in the flow of the party like Rajendra Mahadik without showing his displeasure. But in the report called by the party from different sources, Bal Mane was more right than Uday Bane, so instead of nominating Bane, the party nominated Bal Mane.www.konkantoday.com
