NANDED, February 10: Former chief election commissioner T N Seshan had approached the Congress party through a middleman with a request not to field a Congress candidate against him if he was fielded as a Bharatiya Janata Party-Shiv Sena-supported candidate in the Lok Sabha election from one of the constituencies in Mumbai, former Maharashtra chief minister Sharad Pawar said at a press conference here yesterday. Pawar revealed that Seshan8217;s request was turned down by the Congress high command as he had contested the presidential election and was supported by BJP and Shiv Sena.
