Pune Ward 09 : Supporters take a stand for Amol Balwadkar; workers from Sus-Mhalunge quit BJP and join NCP
Pune: At the “Vijayi Sankalp” meeting held in Baner, in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, several workers and office-bearers from the Sus–Mhalunge area formally resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party and joined the Nationalist Congress Party.
Following the denial of candidature to Amol Balwadkar, his supporters from Sus–Mhalunge decided to switch allegiance to the NCP. Speaking at the induction, workers said that considering Balwadkar’s grassroots work, organisational strength, and continuous engagement with citizens, the decision to deny him a ticket was difficult to understand. Hence, they said, they chose to take a clear stand.
This mass induction is expected to significantly influence the political dynamics of the Sus–Mhalunge region in the coming days.
Names of those who joined the party:
Kalpana Namdev Chandere, Anjanatai Chandere, Nalini Uttam Sasar (former Sarpanch, Sus village), Meenatai Balasaheb Sasar, Anjanatai Jalindar Chandere, Priti Yuvraj Dhege, Vijay Vyavahare, Chandrashekhar Patil, Pramod Nirakhane, Somnath Chandere, Nandu Salunkhe, Balu Bhau Tapkir, Sandeep Bandal, Dilip Chandere, Sunil Shinde, Santosh Jadhav, Gaurav Rudrakantwar, Santosh Savegavkar, Ram Chitale, Yogesh Padole, Nikhil Chandere, More Shekhar, Akash Sasar, Omkar Sasar, Umesh Sasar, Siddhant Sasar, Balkavade, Sachin Chandere, Nikhil Sasar, Saurabh Chandere, Akshay Munde, Nilesh Gadikar, among others.
