<p>Notably, Thackeray had campaigned against BJP during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Later, he changed his stand.</p>
<p>While BJP has declared support to Amit, the contest is triangular, involving Sadanand Sarvankar from BJP's ally Shiv Sena and opposition Shiv Sena (UBT)'s Mahesh Sawant.</p>
<p>Sarvankar has said he will stay in the fray. The last day for withdrawal of nomination is November 4.</p>
