Maharashtra News, Talks are not working out with Eknath Shinde, will BJP support Bahujan Vikas Aghadi’s Rajesh Patil on Palghar seat? – Maharashtra BJP may give support to Bahujan Vikas Aghadi Rajesh Patil in Palghar Lok Sabha seat.

Surendra Negi, Palghar: There is still suspense regarding the announcement of the name of Mahayuti’s candidate for Palghar Lok Sabha seat. At the same time, sources say that BJP wants to field Mahayuti candidate on this seat, but its election symbol should be lotus. BJP workers also have the same demand. However, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde does not want to field his party’s candidate on BJP’s election symbol. If Rajendra Gavit contests the elections on bow and arrow, it will not be easy for him to win, because not only the workers but also the voters are opposing Gavit. There is a lot of anger towards him especially in the rural areas of Palghar. It is believed that BJP will support Bahujan Vikas Aghadi. Voting on Palghar seat is to be held on May 20, but the names of Mahayuti candidates have not been announced yet. Till now, Bharti Kamdi of Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction) has been declared the candidate from Maha Vikas Aghadi and her campaign is going on in full swing. Although Bahujan Vikas Aghadi candidate Rajesh Patil has filed his nomination, it is not yet decided whether he will contest the election. Party President Hitendra Thakur said that more of his candidates can file nomination.

Due to lack of coordination between Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) and BJP regarding this seat, Mahayuti’s candidate has not been announced. Rajendra Gavit from Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) is the MP from here, but due to the ongoing internal factionalism in the party, he is now facing opposition.

Dispute with Shinde group on seat

BJP is also not in his favor. BJP workers say that the seat may go to anyone, but the election symbol should be lotus. Shinde is moving away from the BJP symbol. Gavit claims that this time too he will get the candidature. Therefore, BJP can adopt the safe route and support the Bahujan Vikas Aghadi candidate. Bavia Lok Sabha constituency has three MLAs. However, no official statement has come yet from BJP and Baviya.

Prakash Ambedkar targets MVA

Here, Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA) President Prakash Ambedkar has asked Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray whether he will remain with Maha Vikas Aghadi and India Alliance even after the elections? He said that he has doubts that even after the results, Uddhav’s loyalty will remain towards MVA in the state and India Alliance at the national level. Ambedkar challenged Thackeray to give an assurance in writing that he would continue to support the Congress-MVA even after the election results in the first week of June.

He has also sought a formal commitment from Shiv Sena (UBT) that it will remain a part of the MVA till the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections. Pointing to the differences in the MVA, Ambedkar asked why Thackeray cannot give this assurance to the voters in writing from now on? This should become clear to the public from now on, otherwise all this has no meaning. Earlier, the VBA chief had hinted that after the election results, Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (Sharad Pawar) may join hands with BJP, which is likely to emerge as the single largest party. VBA is not associated with any alliance. She is contesting on 45 out of 48 seats in the state. He tried to join MVA, but things didn’t work out. Last week he had criticized the MVA, especially the Congress, for not giving ticket to a single Muslim candidate.
