Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: “Republican Party of India (Athawale) will contest the upcoming local body elections in alliance with the Mahayuti in the state, and party workers should begin preparations for the polls,” appealed RPI State Executive President Baburao Kadam.
A meeting to plan for the local body elections and the party’s national convention to be held in Mahad was organised in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Saturday. Marathwada President Milind Shelke, State Vice President Daulat Kharat, City and District President Nagraj Gaikwad, along with Balkrishna Ingle, Arvind Avsarmol, Ramesh Dabhade, Rakesh Pandit, and other leaders were present.
Kadam further said that the recently held Gairan Land Rights Conference in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar received an overwhelming response. In this context, the RPI has decided to contest the local body elections in alliance with the BJP–Shiv Sena Mahayuti coalition in the state.
