The BJP leader filed his nomination in the presence of central election observer Sunil Bansal, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant, outgoing State President Sadanand Shet Tanavade, and others.
Bansal stated that the core committee of the party met on Friday and unanimously decided to nominate 54-year-old Naik for the post.
