RPI(A) chief Ramdas Athawale has decided to contest the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) polls for the post of vice-president.
“I have very good relations with both the Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray group. Thus, I have decided to talk to both of them and see if I can get to contest from one of the groups for the upcoming MCA poll. This is not about politics but about sports,” he told reporters.
Mr. Athawale claimed he had around 40 assured votes, out of the total 329 votes that will be cast.
“There are a lot of educational institutions and sports clubs that get to vote. I have good relations with them spanning decades. I am sure they will be ready to support me,” he said.
