Sena had reportedly asked BJP to part with the seat since many aspirants had been keen on contesting from it.BJP has kept up the surprise over Ulhasnagar, which does not feature on its first list of nominations. Sources said an internal survey had shown that sitting MLA Kumar Ailani is no longer considered an apt candidate and four functionaries are keen on staking a claim to the ticket.
