Mumbai: After the announcement of the dates of Maharashtra assembly elections, political activities have intensified. According to sources, the famous IRS officer Sameer Wankhede is going to join Shiv Sena soon.
According to the information, Wankhede can contest elections on the ticket of Mahayuti. It is being claimed that he can be given a ticket from Dharavi seat.
