Palghar: The BJP may have snapped ties with Shiv Sena, but it has decided to support the latter's sitting MLA from Vasai Vivek Pandit on the ground of fighting "criminalisation of politics".

In a letter to Pandit, BJP leader Vinod Tawde said his party's official nominee Shekar Duri would withdraw from the
constituency in Palghar district in support of Pandit.
