NCP Candidate Files Nomination Amidst Heavy Police Security in Solapur
A woman farmer named Ujwala, who is running for a local government position in Angar village with the NCP party, finally managed to submit her application to run for office.
Some people, reportedly supporters of a rival BJP leader, had been trying to stop her for days.
They allegedly used tractors and even sharp weapons to block her path and threatened her.
Fearing for her safety, Ujwala asked the police for help.
A large number of police officers were sent to protect her, and she was able to submit her papers.
The NCP believes the BJP leader wanted to keep the tradition of having no one run against his preferred candidate, a practice that has happened for a very long time in Angar.
Ujwala is worried about how she will campaign since she has had trouble entering her village.
NCP candidate Ujwala Thite successfully filed nomination papers for Angar Nagar Panchayat presidency with heavy police security.
Thite alleged obstruction by a BJP leader and associates, who reportedly used vehicles and threats to prevent her from reaching the election office.
Heavy police and SRPF contingent provided security after Thite requested protection due to threats to her life.
The NCP accuses a BJP leader of orchestrating the obstruction to maintain a 60-year tradition of unopposed elections in Angar.
Thite expressed concern about campaigning, stating she has been unable to enter her village and may resort to online campaigning.
