Date:

Nagpur : Ahead of the State Legislative Assembly elections, Congress party’s city unit has swung into action. In a meeting held at its office in Devadiya Congress Bhavan in Mahal on Thursday, party’s leaders from the city decided to revamp city executive and also change the inactive booth-level office-bearers.

Vikas Thakre, City President of the party, presided over the meeting. Atul Londhe, State Secretary; Adv Abhijeet Wanjari; Sheikh Hussain, former City President; Yashwant Bajirao, former MLA; Naresh Gawande, former Mayor; Bunty Shelke, corporator; Dr Gajraj Hatewar, Prof Dinesh Banabakode, Bandopant Tembhurne, Jayant Lute, Ramesh Punekar, Rashmi Uikey, Darshani Dhawad, Ujjwala Bankar, Nitin Sathawane were present prominently on the occasion.

At the outset, the office-bearers took stock of the party’s performance in the recently held Lok Sabha elections. Vikas Thakre said that in Lok Sabha elections this time Congress candidate polled 1,41,000 votes more than those polled in 2014. “This is despite the fact that the ruling BJP had Chief Minister, Union Minister, 12 legislators, two Rajya Sabha members, 100 corporators from the city. Congress’ performance indicates that the people have not fallen prey to the tall claims of the ruling party that it had effected developmental works worth Rs 70,000 crore in the city,” he said.

Thakre asked Congress workers to consider the situation and start working hard for the forthcoming State Legislative Assembly elections. He hinted at formation of Assembly election committee of the party, and also to place various booths in A, B, and C categories depending upon the party’s performance and network. The inactive booth-level heads and office-bearers will be changed, he said. Also, he said, the performance of office-bearers occupying positions for years will be evaluated and city executive will be revamped accordingly. The party will plan Assembly segment-wise meets, prabhag-wise camps.

In the meeting, Thakre and other leaders asked block level heads and office-bearers to express their opinions, and put forth suggestions regarding rejuvenating the party network for State Legislative Assembly elections scheduled a few months later.

Dayal Jashnani, Vilas Bhalekar, Dr Manohar Tambulkar, Ashok Nikhade, Rajesh Paunikar, Nirmala Borkar, Motiram Mohadikar, Amit Pathak, Devendra Rotele, Pankaj Nighot, Pramod Thakur, Irshad Malik, Dinesh Tarale, Vivek Nikose, Shrikant Dholke, Chandrakant Hingey, Irshad Ali, Dinesh Tarale, Mahesh Shriwas, Wasudeo Dhok, Geeta Kale, Raman Thaokar, Manoj Sable, Kishor Gajbhiye, Adv Akshay Samarth, Akash Taywade, Rajesh Kumbhalkar, and others attended the meeting.
