VALPOI
Former chief minister and Poriem MLA Pratapsing Rane has assured full support to the Congress candidates contesting the elections to three ZP constituencies of Keri, Honda and Nagargao in Sattari.
Addressing a news conference, Valpoi Block Congress President Dasharath Mandrekar said the Congress would be victorious in all three ZP constituencies in Sattari taluka.
“The upcoming elections will be very tough for the BJP because veteran Congress leader Pratapsingh Rane, who wields great influence in Sattari taluka, has fully supported all three candidates,” said Mandrekar.
“Since the past few days, the BJP has been trying to pressurise the Congress candidates but they will not succeed. The campaign of the Congress party is in full swing,” said Mandrekar.
“Voters unhappy with the BJP are against Valpoi MLA Vishwajit Rane and they will express this resentment by voting for the Congress candidates.”
Commenting on the support of Pratapsing Rane, Mandrekar said all three Congress candidates met at Poriem and sought the blessings of senior Rane.
“Pratapsing Rane advised all candidates to work actively to achieve victory. In the past, various attempts have been made to pressurise voters by giving them various assurances. This will not work this time,” Mandrekar added.
