No major party pulled out of the Palghar Lok Sabha bypoll fray on the last day of withdrawal of candidature yesterday. This means it will be a four-way fight with the Shiv Sena, BJP, Congress and local outfit Bahujan Vikas Aghadi (BVA) trying to make a cut in a contest that is very crucial for the BJP, because every contestant wants to beat it. The Sena has taken a lead in this by breaking the alliance with BJP and getting the son of a late BJP MP to contest.
