The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), which supported the Mahayuti in the Lok Sabha elections, has decided to go it alone for the legislative council polls for the Konkan Graduates Constituency, as the issues are state-related, a party leader said on Tuesday.

The MNS on Monday announced the candidature of film director Abhijit Panse from the Konkan Graduates’ constituency for the legislative council elections scheduled on June 26. The constituency is currently represented by the BJP’s Niranjan Davkhare.
