Mahyuti holds meeting for Maval candidate
Senior leaders of the Mahayuti on Monday held the first meeting after Shrirang Barne was officially announced as Mahayuti candidate for Maval Lok Sabha constituency
Senior leaders of the Mahayuti on Monday held the first meeting after Shrirang Barne was officially announced as Mahayuti candidate for Maval Lok Sabha constituency.
Deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar has begun campaigning for Barne. He is a two-time MP who had previously defeated Ajit’s son Parth Pawar by a margin of two lakh votes in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections from the Maval parliamentary constituency.
Pawar, said, “The opposition candidate (Sanjog Waghere) was with us for years and some might have good relations with most of us but I advise everyone not to hold any meeting with him. Such meetings may spark speculation before elections. We all have to work for the bow and arrow symbol of Shiv Sena and ensure our candidate wins this election.”
Barne, said, “After my name was announced as the official candidate, Pawar was the first person to call and assure me that his party will work for me in Maval.”
Barne will contest against Sanjog Waghere of Shiv Sena (UBT) who was announced the official candidate of MVA for Maval.
Other leaders present at the meeting included--BJP’s Chandrakant Patil, Shiv Sena’s Uday Samant (Eknath Shinde faction) attended the meeting relief and rehabilitation minister Anil Patil, MLA Ashwini Jagtap, Sunil Shelke, Uma Khapare, and Chandrakanta Sonkamble of RPI from the Athavale group.
