India Against Corruption (IAC) President Hemant Patil, along with his supporters, arrived at the collector's office dressed as cricketers and filed his nomination papers as an independent candidate from the Pune Lok Sabha constituency on Wednesday.
Speaking to the media, Patil said, "For the last 20 years, I have worked for the Maratha, Dhangar, Muslim, and Dalit communities in Pune. Due to all the work that I have done, I am confident that I will win the Lok Sabha polls in Pune and work to solve people's problems. Even today, problems such as unemployment, hunger, and inflation persist."
Patil will face the challenge of Murlidhar Mohol of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Ravindra Dhangekar of the Congress, Vasant More of the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA), and Anis Sundke of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM).
