Mumbai: Elections for one of the four statutory committees of BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for the post of Standing Committee and Education Committee Chairman will be held on October 5 and for BEST Undertaking and Reforms Committee Chairman elections will be held on October 6.

Incumbent Shiv Sena president Yashwant Jadhav has been given the opportunity for the post of standing committee chairman for the third time in a row. He has submitted his candidature application to Municipal Secretary Sangeeta Sharma today. Against him, Adv. Makrand Narvekar has filed his nomination papers while Asif Zakaria has filed his nomination papers on behalf of the Congress.

Also, Sandhya Doshi has filed her candidature application for the post of Education Committee Chairperson on behalf of Shiv Sena as a new and exciting face. On the other hand, Surekha Patil from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Sangeeta Handore from Congress have filed their nomination papers today. However, considering the front-runners and the Shiv Sena’s strength, it is believed that Shiv Sena’s Yashwant Jadhav will score a hat-trick. Also, Sandhya Joshi’s victory is considered certain.

In fact, elections are held in April every year for the post of Chairman of the four statutory committees of the BMC, Standing, Reforms, Education and ‘BEST’. However, due to the increase in the incidence of corona this year, this election was scheduled on Wednesday as no meeting of the Standing Committee, Reforms Committee, BEST Committee and Education Committee has been held since March 31 due to the outbreak of corona.

However, now that the state government has allowed the election of these committees to be held through video conferencing, the elections are now scheduled to take place on October 5 and 6. For this, Shiv Sena, Congress and BJP candidates filed their nomination papers for the post of Standing Committee and Education Committee Chairman today.

On this occasion, House Leader Vishakha Raut, Leader of Opposition, Ravi Raja, current Education Committee Chairperson, Anjali Naik, Former Mayor and Councilor, Vishwanath Mahadeshwar, former mayor and corporator Snehal Ambekar, former chairman of education committee and corporator Mangesh Satamkar, Chandrasekhar Waingankar, Sujata Patekar, Sharad Pongade, BJP group leader Prabhakar Shinde, nominated corporator Bhalchandra Shirsat, Samajwadi Party group leader and MLA Raees Sheikh, NCP group leader Rakhi Jadhav and other corporators and Sanjay Giri of secretary department were present on the occasion.
