What could be the possible reason behind the demand made by former minister Filipe Nery’s supporters that he should contest the polls on the NCP banner? Well, people seemed puzzled over the choice when the Sharad Pawar-led party has no presence in the constituency. Take note, Filipe Nery had the option of contesting the election as an Independent. Or, were the supporters wary that contesting the election as an independent would give an armament to opponents to attack him on the ground he would go back to support the BJP after the polls. Interesting, isn’t it?
