Maharashtra. For the 18th Lok Sabha, BJP has tried to stir things up and announce Union Minister Piyush Goyal as the candidate for this constituency. The change left many surprised as BJP's Gopal Shetty has been winning this seat for the past two Lok Sabha polls and has a stronghold in the constituency.
18th Lok Sabha will also be a chance for Mumbai-born Goyal to set foot in the Lower House as he has been part of the Parliament as a member of the Upper House. «Of course, I am very excited. I am looking forward to a decision being made by the party leaders and I do hope that I get an opportunity to contest. It will be my privilege,» Goyal told PTI recently when asked about his plans for contesting Lok Sabha elections.
