Maharashtra BJP president Raosaheb Danve today committed a faux pas when instead of late party MP Chintaman Wanga he said state minister Vishnu Sawra had died.
Danve was speaking at a party rally at Talasari in adjoining Palghar district.
During his speech, the BJP leader wanted to make a reference to the death of Wanga, the Lok Sabha MP from Palghar who passed away in January.
However, Danve, instead of Wanga, mistakenly took the name of Sawra, who is a BJP MLA from Palghar district.
Sawra was on the dais when Danve committed the faux pas.
Wanga's death has necessitated by-election in the Palghar Lok Sabha constituency. The bypoll will he held on May 28.
