Mumbai, Oct 22 (IANS) Days after the release of the first list of 99 candidates by BJP, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ official residence 'Sagar' situated in Malabar Hill in south Mumbai has become a major centre of activities and not the party's headquarters near Mantralaya.

These meetings took place till late Monday evening and will continue on Tuesday also.

Rane, Lavhekar, Bhimrao Tapkir (Khadakwasla), and Devayanai Pharande (Nashik Central) were among the prominent party leaders and sitting legislators who met Fadnavis with a strong plea to give them yet another chance.

On the other hand, party leader Atul Shah made a strong pitch to get a party nomination from the Mumbadevi constituency in south Mumbai while Murli Patel pleaded for his candidature from Andheri East. Fadnavis has reportedly told the duo that the party will consider their names.
