Kalaben along with her son Abhinav and hundreds of supporters had joined Shiv Sena last month after her husband committed suicide in February this year.

His son Abhinav Delkar alleged that his father was constantly being harassed and his supporters in the local administration forced him to take his own life.

The bypoll to the Dadra Nagar Haveli Lok Sabha constituency (reserved for ST) saw an enthusiastic response with a 75.91 per cent turnout on Saturday.
