And To Save The Congress Party, Raja Bhau Thakur Fights Shriwardhan Assembly Seat Solemnly lone.

Raigad : (Correspondence) With no support from the Congress Party and from its top party leaders. Raigad District Congress Party’s Vice President and Senior Congress Party leader Mr. Raja Bhau Thakur made an aggressive attempt alone to keep the Congress Party alive not only in Congress Party’s Bastion seat ie. in Shriwardhan 193 Assembly Constituency seat but also to save the Congress Party in Raigad District and in Konkan region too. To it he alone fought the just concluded assembly election battle and has brought back the great Spirit for the Party and the workers. Raja Bhau Thakur is recognized to be one of the most powerful and popular Congress Party’s leader in Raigad District. Here it is to be remembered that his late father Mr. Madhukar Thakur was an MLA too from Alibag constituency winning the seat for Congress party bagging it after 32 years and he too was popular in Raigad district. His poupularisam had boosted Raigad Congress in thee absence of Congress party’s veteran leader late Barrister Antuley the ex Central Health Cabinet Minister and an ex CM of Maharashtra State. In due course of time MLA Mr. Madhukar Thakur too passed away. To this the Raigad Congress from then really became an Orphan because no other leader could replace these top leaders and there after a complete desert became as MPCC ie. Maharashtra Prdesh Congress Committee and also from AICC ie. All India Congress Committee never paid their attention towards Raigad Congress as narrated from thee number of original Raigad congress party hard line workers. But RDCC ie. Raigad District Congress Committee’s executive body stood by Raja Bhau Thakur.

Meanwhile from the era that the Raigad Congress District President Mr. Mahendra Gharat became the President the Raigad Congress Party worsened to it’s poorest presentation and he has not worked as much expected being the Party President. This became more concrete proof that Congress Party did not bag any local seats, nor frayed their maximum candidates to contest, on the contrary had an hidden agenda in supporting the opponents, has had a good relation with ex MP Ramsheth Thakur from AIPWP party ie. All India Peasant Workers Party popularly known as ‘Shekaapa’ in Marathi language and also had an financial understanding with him or in the name of alliance living the seats deliberately to alliance partners. Mr. Mahendra Gharat’s body language was itself an exposure that he never had any key intrest for Congress Party’s election campaign party nor Congress Party’s internal programme. A concret proof during Mangaon Congress Party’s internal Chief elections. Mr. Mahendra Gharat arrived extremely late during the felicitation of newly elected Party President, name sake visited and also seen same act during Mangaon’s local elections Nagar Panchyat campaigning period. He did not give any speech and simply visited and flunged from there. Also during this just concluded assembly elections he without concerning the State Congress Chief President Mr. Nana Bhau Patole as learnt through sources he Mr. Mahendra Gharat at his interest, capacity and one sided appointed Mr. Todankar as Chief of the Shriwardhan Congress Party Assembly Constituency. Further to it Mr. Gharat despite being the Raigad District Congress President worked against Congress Party by threatening them with severe action and keeping the Congress flock be it to some executive members, office bearers, Taluka Presidents, Party workers to be away from Mr. Raja Bhau Thakur who enjoyed the maximum support from entire Raigad Congress team. To this Shriwardhan Constituency was kept unbothered by him to be be left and completely neglected by the top concerned and this was also previously experienced even during Loksabha elections too resulting the Congress party failing to put its candidate in contesting the Raigad Loksabha seat election.

This angered the Raigad Congress hard core party workers but later made their mind soft hopping in getting at least some seats in the coming State Assembly elections. Here too the top Congress Party leaders paid no heed in fraying it’s candidate at Alibag, Shriwardhan and Mahad Assembly Constituency. This act brought great concerned, anger and desperate to the party workers leading to throng the RDCC Alibag Party office and MPCC office at Tilak Bhuvan in Mumbai, submitting memorandum or be it holding Dharna and giving positive slogans appealing the Congress’s State Party Chief and faxing mails too AICC at central level appealing to give Congres candidate for Raigad District Congress, to fight the elections. But here to the same thing happened that Congress Party was least bothered. Finally noting to all these, the Shriwardhan Assembly Constituency’s Congress Party workers came together and took their self decisions to fray its Congress backed candidate. To it also approached Five Taluka Congress Party’s Presidents that fall under Shriwardhan Assembly Constituency. Paying heed to the cries of Congress Party Workers Mr. Vilas Surve, the chief of Mangaon Taluka Congress called an emergency meeting in Party office. At this juncture hundreds of party workers, office bearers and all five Taluka Congress head too were present and a detailed convention took place in an impressive manner and concluded in unanimously to frey a Congress Candidate for Shriwardhan Assembly Constituency. During this meeting a final blue print was planned in fraying Mr. Rajendra Madhukar Thakur. The son of late Congress ex MLA Mr. Madhukar Thakur. A popular Raigad Congress leader popularly by nick name called “Raja Bhau”. He was invited by the Shriwardhan Constituency’s Congress Party workers during Second crucial meeting and their itself his name was finalised and decided to go lone in contesting the Shriwardhan seat. Here it is to be remembered that Mr. Raja Bhau Thakur was chosen the Chief Co ordinator during the concluded Loksabha elections for its India alliance candidate. So party workers pressurised Mr. Raja Bhau Thakur to contest the Shriwardhan Assembly elections. Thee other side the top Congress leaders who side lined the Raigad Congress brought more worsening to the Congress Party during the Assembly elections too. By not fraying a single Candidate too. To all these the Shriwardhan Congress Assembly Constituency’s party workers begged Mr. Raja Bhau Thakur to save the Congress Party. Seeing the situation going out of hand Mr. Raja Bhau Thakur finally aassured that he will abide by their request and contest the Bastion seat of Congress Party that enjoyed its long Six decades ago that party had its elected members be it MLA’s or MP.
