Desperate ticket seekers and their supporters went to great lengths to trip rivals, even if it meant theft, shoving papers down throat or digging up past statements
In the tangled political equations at the grassroots level, where alliances and loyalties often blur, several ticket aspirants for the upcoming civic polls in Maharashtra crossed the line.
The desperate ticket seekers and their supporters went to great lengths to trip rivals, even if it meant theft, shoving papers down the throat or digging up past statements.
Their singular focus was the Forms 'A' and 'B' that are essential documents through which a political party declares a particular nominee as its candidate in polls.
Uddhav Kamble of the Shiv Sena hogged the limelight, but for the wrong reason, after he allegedly tore up and swallowed the AB forms of a rival from his own party in Pune.
