Aurangabad, March 10:
The public representatives Kalyan Kale and Subhash Zambad today announced the candidates of their panel, who will be contesting the Aurangabad District Central Cooperative Bank (ADCCB) election from various categories. They expressed their confidence claiming they would give a tough fight and defeat the established ones in the ADCCB.
The panel's Jaganath Kale, Ravindra Kale, R D Kolte, BJP's former district president Eknath Jadhav and MNS's Dilip Bankar will be contesting on five seats (Non-Agri voters category); Yogita Dinesh Bodkhe and Parwatibai Ramhari Jadhav (Women category); ZP's former president Devyani Krishna Patil (OBC category); Shahnawaz Khan (VJNT category); Rahul Sawant (Scheduled Caste/Tribe category) and Prakash Manakchand Mutha (Processing category). Mutha will be contesting against the minister of state for revenue Abdul Sattar from this category. There is less number of voters in this category. Hence the election will be very interesting.
From the Shetaki category, Ankushrao Shelke (from Aurangabad tehsil), Vishnu Jambhulkar (from Sillod tehsil), Kiran Patil Dongaonkwar (from Khuldabad tehsil) and Rangnath Kale (from Soyegaon tehsil) have been nominated on behalf of the panel.
Kalyan Kale said, " The matter regarding societies of C and D category is sub judice in the High Court. Hence, we have declared two names from each tehsil. Bhausaheb Patil Chikatgaonkar and Dnyaneshwar Jagtap from Vaijapur tehsil, Rajendra Pol and Krishna Patil Dongaonkar from Gangapur tehsil, Sanjay Waghchaure and Sunita Solate from Paithan tehsil and Ashok Magar and Devidas Mangate from Kannad tehsil. Based on the court order, the name of the final candidates would be announced."
Zambad said, " For the first time in the history of ADCCB election, we are getting such a huge response. Our fight is against the established ones, and the activists from the grass-root level are with us in this move. The voters are fed up with the established ones. We will defeat them in the election."
Bhausaheb Chikatgaonkar, Sanjay Waghchaure, Eknath Jadhav, Shahnawaz Khan, Jagannath Kale, Ravindra Kale, Kiran Dongaonkar, Krishna Dongaonkar, Prakash Mutha and many other activists were present on occasion.
