Sena-BJP-RPI will put up good show in local polls: Athawale
PTI | 09:11 PM,Nov 18,2011
Nashik, Nov 18 (PTI) Republican Party of India (RPI) President Ramdas
Athawale today supported the Shiv Sena and BJP's demand for a minimum
support price of Rs 6,000 per quintal of cotton. Talking to reporters
here, the former Lok Sabha MP said the demand was justified. RPI will
take out a "funeral procession" of the Congress-NCP-led Democratic
Front Government in Mumbai tomorrow, he said. Athawale hoped the newly
formed Sena-BJP-RPI alliance will win majority of the municipal
council and corporation polls due early next year as Dalit voters have
changed their mind considering his party's 20-year-long "bad
experience" of allying with Congress and NCP. Asked whether RPI was
following Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati's pattern of "social
engineering" in the local body polls in Maharashtra, he said "we are
adopting political engineering." To a question, the former Minister
said BJP won the last month's bypoll to Khadakwasla Assembly seat in
Pune district due to RPI's Dalit votes. The RPI leader slammed Union
Minister Sharad Pawar, saying he had formed his party NCP over the
foreign origin issue of Congress President Sonia Gandhi, but later
joined hands with the same outfit. "Both Congress and NCP came
together for power. But the Shiv Sena, BJP and RPI have come together
on the basis of a common programme," Athawale maintained. Athawale
demanded 30 seats in the poll-bound Nashik Municipal Corporation
(NMC), currently ruled by the saffron combine. Supporting social
worker Anna Hazare's agitation for a strong Lokpal Bill, Athawale said
the Gandhian should take RPI members on his core committee.
