MUMBAI, AUG 16: The BJP and the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra have decided to swap another Assembly seat, taking the total seats swapped to five each. The Sena will now be contesting Katole in Nagpur district and Kamptee will be contested by the BJP, the BJP spokesman Parkash Jawdekar told reporters today.

Thus, the BJP will be contesting Khatav, Latur, Ashti, Kamptee and Panvel, while the Sena will be contesting Patan, Biloli, Phaltan, Pen and Katole, which the BJP had earlier contested.

Deputy Chief Minister Gopinath Munde has filed his papers for the Assembly poll from Renapur in Ambejogai, Jawdekar also informed.

Home Minister L K Advani will be touring Mahrashtra for the September polls this week. He will be addressing meetings in Akola, Chandrapur, Tumsar and Nagpur on August 18 and in Nashik, Ahmednagar, Latur and Solapur on August 19.

Answering questions today, Jawdekar confirmed that Pradeep Ravat, Pune president of the party, had sent his resignation to the State party president. But as the party president, Suryabhan Patil Wahadne, was in Pune, the outcome of the meeting between the two would only be known later.

Ravat is reportedly upset with the party because Anna Joshi has been given the Pune Lok Sabha seat this time.
