Kalyan: The BJP activists say that the same candidate should be selected for the upcoming Kalyan Lok Sabha elections and the senior police inspector Shekhar Bagde, who was sent on compulsory leave of Manpada police station, who has filed a molestation case against BJP office-bearer Nandu Joshi, is suspended. BJP has decided to do the same and it was decided to boycott their programs in a special brainstorming meeting of BJP in Kalyan East.
Meanwhile, Public Works Minister Ravindra Chavan said that in today’s office-bearers’ meeting, a demand has been made regarding the transfer of Senior Police Inspector Shekhar Bagde. It was decided that I will talk to the seniors about this and will not make an alliance until there is a transfer. But Ravindra Chavan said that workers should be made to understand about it.
BJP’s local leaders have alleged that a case was filed against BJP’s Dombivli East Division President Nandu Joshi due to pressure from Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s close associates. Ever since the case was registered against Nandu Joshi, the rift between Shiv Sena and BJP was increasing. Against this background, an urgent meeting of office bearers of Kalyan Lok Sabha Constituency was held on Thursday morning. Public Works Minister Ravindra Chavan along with prominent party leaders, MLAs and office bearers were present in this meeting. At this time, a public stance was taken that MP Shrikant Shinde did not want to cooperate in this meeting. BJP office bearers raised the question that even when the post of Home Minister of the state is held by the BJP, if a case is filed against the office bearers due to the pressure of one leader, what is the use of the government?
Also, in Kalyan Lok Sabha Constituency, only the candidate will be accepted according to BJP workers. BJP’s local leaders and office bearers have taken an aggressive stance that no other candidate will be tolerated. So now we have to see what the local leaders of Shiv Sena along with Eknath Shinde, Srikant Shinde take on this.
