Thane: Only days ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, workers belonging to the Republican Party of India (Athavale) have announced their support for Maha Aghadi candidate Anand Paranjape.
They clarified that they are against the sitting Member of Parliament and Maha Yuti candidate Rajan Vichare. They clarified, “We have been repeatedly humiliated and finally we decided to oppose Vichare,” said RPI spokesperson Vikas Chavan.

RPI workers claimed that they were always ignored and not invited to any conference and meetings. “We are not called. Our party is not acknowledged and worse photographs of Athavale and district chief Rambhao Tayade are not displayed on publicity hoardings,” said Chavan.
The workers said none of Maha Yuti say ‘Jai Bhim’ at meetings and they are always given the back seats on the stage. Chauhan claimed they have rebelled despite Athavale and Tayade asking them to refrain from doing so. Chavan said that they are ready to face any action.
