A day after Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal opened the doors of the Aam Aadmi Party for former Chief Minister late Manohar Parrikar's son Utpal to join his party, Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut on Monday urged non BJP parties to jointly support Utpal's candidature for the upcoming assembly polls.

The overtures from Kejriwal and Raut come at a time when Utpal Parrikar has been at loggerheads with the BJP leadership over his demand for a ticket for the Panaji state assembly seat, which was represented by his father since 1994.
Even as Utpal has been sidelined in the BJP's affairs, ex Maharashtra CM and BJP's Goa in-charge for the assembly polls Devendra Fadnavis, has also said that being Parrikar's son cannot be the only credential to demand a ticket from the BJP.
