Plain Speak

MunDhanade

“It is a fight and no election is easy. I don’t even take the gram panchayat, panchayat samiti or municipal council election of my colleague lightly. We have to fight with full strength and win. My party has given me the candidature. If the MVA is not able to find a candidate, then reporters should guess who is getting into a ‘chakravyuh’.”

MunDhanade, Leader, NCP



Plain Speak

“There can be switching of seats in one or two places. In some places, candidates have to be changed at the last minute. I don’t think anything drastic can happen beyond this. We have come close to scoring a century. We will hit two-three sixers. We scored 85 and the match is still on. We will score the remaining runs.”

Sanjay Raut, Leader, Shiv Sena (UBT)



Plain Speak

“We wanted the Jalna seat left for the BJP, but it has been given to Sena’s Khotkar. Shiv Sena has been contesting from Jalna for the past 25 years. BJP workers had demanded that it be given to us. However, as per Mahayuti’s seat-sharing arrangement, it has gone to the Sena. Therefore, I’ve decided to contest as an Independent.”

Bhaskar Danve, BJP District Vice President, Jalna
