Shiv Sena leaders are concerned about the BJP's attempts to contest more than 25 Lok Sabha seats, including the Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg seat. Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam argues that the BJP would not contest the polls from Raigad, as the seat belongs to the Shiv Sena. The BJP has been staking claim over several Shiv Sena seats, including the Ratnagiri seat, which is currently represented by Vinayak Raut.
