The city unit of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) on Tuesday agitated in Gandhigiri style in front of Mahatma Gandhi’s statue on the Pune railway station premises to condemn the rampage by members of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena over the Dadoji Konddev issue on Monday.
The BJP and Shiv Sena corporators broke furniture and disrupted the general body meeting in the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC).
Mayor Mohansingh Rajpal and NCP city unit president Vandana Chavan led the sit-in agitation for two hours in the morning.
Chavan said the mayor is the first citizen of Pune. The BJP and Shiv Sena corporators tried to attack him and lowered the dignity of his office. “The mayor’s chair was attacked for the first time in the history of the PMC,” she claimed.
The NCP workers have demanded action against the BJP and Shiv Sena corporators, who subverted the democratic process, she added.
NCP’s leader of the house, Nilesh Nikam, and its spokesman Ankush Kakade also participated in the agitation. Nikam said they did nothing illegal and the NCP is firm on its stand.
The NCP had put the proposal before the general body to remove the statue, which was passed by a majority. If BJP and Shiv Sena had any objection, why did they keep quiet that day, he wondered.
MLA Bapu Pathare, former mayor Rajlakshmi Bhosale, Datta Ekbote, Suresh Shewal and former MLA Kamal Dhole Patil were also a part of the agitation.
