Union Agriculture Minister and NCP strongman Sharad Pawar on Wednesday filed his nomination for presidentship of the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), a day after BJP leader Gopinath Munde did so, to make it a two-way fight for the reins of MCA at its October 18 biennial polls.
“Mr Sharad Pawar has filed his nomination to contest for the president’s post,” said Dr PV Shetty, the outgoing joint secretary, whose group headed by incumbent MCA chief Ravi Savant has already extended support to the political bigwig and former president.
