Chhatrapati scion withdraws from RS race

Mumbai, May 27 : On anticipated lines, Yuvraj Chhatrapati Sambhajiraje, scion of the Kolhapur throne, withdrew from the Rajya Sabha race, here on Friday.

He cited his decision as arising out of self-respect and concern for the masses.

Earlier, Sambhajiraje had explained that since the BJP can get only 2 seats, and the Sena-NCP-Congress one each, he would contest that extra sixth seat solo with the support of various major and smaller parties.-qn/shb/ #Chhatrapati #race #Mumbai #Kolhapur #Mumbai #Congress.
