Gopal Shetty expressed his displeasure over the decision taken by the party regarding the candidate of Borivali assembly constituency. “Borivali is not a Dharamshala where an outsider will come and contest elections. Action should be taken against those spreading false information about us up to senior party leaders, even if he is a leader. I will follow the orders of the party. I have just received information that I will go among the workers, if they wish, I will continue the fight", said Gopal Shetty. “First Vinod Tawde was brought to Borivali, then given to Sunil Rane.
