Sena, Congress alliance in Vasai ?
Local leaders of Shiv Sena, NCP, Congress, BJP and MNS in the area have reportedly joined hands with five other parties in an attempt to defeat four-time Independent MLA Hitendra Thakur.
The two parties, and eight others – Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), Janata Dal (JD), Swabhimani Vasaikar Sanghatana, Shramjivi Sanghatana, Vasai Sangharsh Samiti and a social organisation led by Dutta Nar – have formed the Vasai Jan Andolan Samiti (VJAS) to ensure Thakur’s defeat in the upcoming Assembly elections. Shiv Sena’s Vivek Pandit is the chosen candidate for the job.
“Despite having been elected four times, Thakur has done nothing to help the people of Vasai. He has used his position only to realise his dreams of becoming a builder and has converted the area into a concrete jungle,” Pandit said. He further alleged that Thakur has not even solved the area’s sewage problem and residents still complain of lack of drinking water. He added that the VJAS has also decided to have a non-political election symbol to show that they are united.
Also, it is said that Thakur has now decided not to stand himself but instead has fielded his wife and son.
IMO: Vivek Pandit seems to have a good track record and could be the man for the job.
