Omie Kalani’s decision to support Shrikant Shinde during the recent Lok Sabha elections has come back to haunt him in a way that will impede his plans to contest the Assembly polls. Omie Kalani is a politician from Ulhasnagar and son of a staunch loyalist of Sharad Pawar, Pappu Kalani. The second generation politician had announced in a recent public meeting that he would contest the Ulhasnagar Assembly seat from the Sharad Pawar faction of NCP. However, Kalani’s hopes were dashed as senior leaders of NCP (SP) had announced that they will not give tickets to those who had not supported them during the recent Lok Sabha polls.
