Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh): MLA of Tarana and Congress mayoral candidate in the Ujjain Municipal Corporation (UMC) elections Mahesh Parmar filed his nomination paper as per ‘Shubh Muhurta’ on Thursday.

Parmar arrived at 2.30 pm with selected supporters to submit the nomination forms without a show of strength. City Congress Committee president Ravi Bhadauria, ex-Leader of Opposition in UMC Rajendra Vashisht and other Congressmen were present with him. Parmar presented his nomination papers to Ankita Dhakre, CEO of the Zilla Panchayat in the administrative complex building.

Later, Parmar told reporters that he had filed his nomination in the auspicious time as attributed by veteran astrologer Pt Anand Shankar Vyas. Parmar has said that he is going among the people of Ujjain regarding the issues of public interests. He said that if the voters of the city of Mahakal elected him as mayor, then he would regularise the work of laying underground sewer pipelines and stop arbitrariness, would provide easy availability of drinking water and an agenda for health, education and employment for Ujjain will also be executed. “If I am elected mayor, I will deliver birth-death certificates to the homes of those in need,” he added.

Regarding the contest against BJP candidate Mukesh Tatwal, Parmar said that the public of Ujjain will decide about the same. “The BJP is not a challenge before me and the mayoral candidate fielded by them has never stood in public happiness and misery, while I go to the house of the smallest worker and the smallest person in happiness and sorrow,” he added.
