Sena dispatches AB forms to nominees by private aircraft

NASHIK : The Shiv Sena leadership dispatched AB forms for two of its nominees in Nashik on Tuesday by a private aircraft that landed at Nashik airport from Mumbai a little before noon.

The AB forms were handed over to the party candidates, Dhanraj Mahale for the Dindori seat and Rajashree Ahirrao for the Deolali seat. The duo filed their nominations in the afternoon along with the AB forms.

Shiv Sena's North Maharashtra in-charge Bhausaheb Chaudhari brought the AB forms by the aircraft. Interestingly, in the seat-sharing arrangement among Mahayuti partners, both these seats went to Ajit-led NCP. The party's candidate and sitting NCP MLA, Saroj Ahire, filed her nomination from Deolali, and the deputy speaker of the Vidhan Sabha, Narhari Zirwal, filed his nomination from Dindori.

From Maha Vikas Aghadi, Shiv Sena (UBT) nominee Yogesh Gholap will contest from Deolali, and NCP's (SP) Sunita Charoskar will contest from Dindori. Confirming the developments, the party's deputy leader and former Sena district president Ajay Borate said decision to send the AB forms by an aircraft was taken so that the two candidates could file their nominations before the deadline at 3.00 pm.
