NCP's plan B is ready to ensure the victory of its two nominees in the state council election slated for June 20 especially after the high court denied bail to Anil Deshmukh and Nawab Malik to cast their votes. Both Deshmukh and Malik will approach the Supreme Court to challenge the Bombay high Court’s refusal to allow the temporary release to vote in the state council election.
Once bitten, twice shy. After major embarrassment following the humiliating defeat of Shiv Sena’s second nominee Sanjay Pawar to BJP candidate Dhananjay Mahadik in the Rajya Sabha election, Congress has swung into action to ensure the victory of its second nominee Bhai Jagtap in the state council election for 10 seats slated for June 20.
After the high stake Rajya Sabha polls, MVA and BJP are yet again pitted against each other for election of 10 seats of state council slated for June 20 as there are 11 nominees in fray. The adamant stand taken by the Congress not to withdraw its second candidate made the chances of unopposed state council elections bleak.
The court indicated that it was not inclined to allow the amendment and sought to know from Malik's lawyers if they wish to withdraw the petition and file a fresh plea.
Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis, who has emerged as an architect for the BJP’s third candidate Dhananjay Mahadik defeating Shiv Sena’s second nominee Sanjay Pawar in the Rajya Sabha election, has already swung into action for the victory of party’s five nominees in the election of 10 seats of state council slated for June 20.
