Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray began a two-day tour of Nashik on Wednesday with the objective of rebuilding his party’s sagging fortunes ahead of the crucial civic body polls to be held in February 2022.
This is Mr. Thackeray’s third visit to the district in less than two months, signifying his intent on ‘recapturing’ the Nashik Municipal Corporation, which was once considered his party’s bastion.
Party sources said Mr. Thackeray and his son Amit Thackeray will be holding meetings with office bearers to chalk out a strategy for the upcoming polls.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
