Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi surprises all by supporting Supriya Sule – Shocks Imtiyaz Jaleel by fielding Afsar Khan in Aurangabad

Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi surprises all by supporting Supriya Sule.  Declaring Afsar Khan as the VBA candidate from Aurangabad Loksabha constituency Prakash Ambedkar seemed to have claimed back that ‘same’ support that was instrumental in Imtiyaz Jaleel’s victory in the past.  All apprehensions and calculations made by political pundits were disturbed after the candidature of Afsar Khan was announced.  Afsar Khan is a seasoned politician with 10 years of experience as a corporator and opposition leader in the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation.  His popularity skyrocketed amongst citizens after he rushed to rescue a large number of persons from fake criminal cases.

In a bizarre move Adv. Prakash Ambedkar declared not to field any candidate from the Baramati Loksabha constituency and openly extended support to Supriya Sule who’s been challenged by her own ‘Bhabhi’ Sunetra Pawar.  Supriya Sule is contesting from Baramati Lok Sabha Constituency as a candidate of Mahavikas Aghadi on behalf of Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) – Sharad Chandra Pawar.

Supriya promised to fight to preserve the constitution of India

Amid political turmoil in the country and in a series of betrayals in Maharashtra, Prakash Ambedkar a longtime opponent of Sharad Pawar, unexpectedly extended such support at a time when Sharad Pawar highly needed it.  Defiant to all sorts of threats and pressures by the ruling BJP Supriya Sule is fighting vigorously.  Supriya Sule expressed gratitude to Prakash Ambedkar and promised to jointly fight to preserve constitution of India.

Vasant More VBA Candidate from Pune

Firebrand Maratha leader Vasant More, who quit Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, was trying to get a nomination for the Lok Sabha. After his attempt to get ticket from Congress failed he approached Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi.  Prakash Ambedkar accepted his request and declared his nomination from the Pune Loksabha constituency.  Vasant More’s candidature will be challenging Ravindra Dhangekar from Congress and Muralidhar Mohol from BJP thus making it a triangular fight in Pune.

In Nanded, the VBA has announced Avinash Bhosikar’s name who belongs to the ‘Lingayat’ community.  Another Maratha leader Babasaheb Ugale is fielded by VBA from Parbhani parliamentary constituency.  Mangaldas Bandal who also comes from Maratha community is declared to be the VBA candidate from Shirur Loksabha seat.
