Mr. Raja Bhau Thakur said that it's God's Plan for me to contest election from Shriwardhan seat... He said this as his late Father being an ex Congress MLA had Won from Alibag of Raigad District... But now his son Raja Bhau moved out to another Constituency like Shriwardhan assembly seat... Late Madhukar Thakur was so powerful in Raigad District that his son Raja Bhau Thakur was recently invited by South Raigad Congress Party Office Bearers, workers and staunch supporters... They also thronged the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee's MPCC Office at Tilak Bhavan in Mumbai and pressed in demanding a seat for Raja Bhau to contest from Shriwardhan Constituency by getting AB form... This act shows how Popular Raja Bhau Thakur is too... Paying heed to party workers's strong demand Mr. Raja Bhau Thakur was left with rather no option to only accept party workers' demand and save the Congress Party as not a single seat was left to Congress Party in Konkan region that has 36 seats... Of this the Congress Party's Bastion seat is recognized to be the Shriwardhan one from Raigad District which late Congress Veteran leader Barrister Antuley had contested it on several occasions and be it more than Five decades...

Meanwhile in his 25 minutes speech Congress Candidate Mr. Raja Bhau Thakur welcomed all. Said that I am happy to see in less time big number of people gathered here. Thus I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the programme organisers and the voters who have turned in big and large numbers. Later he assured the ordiance that he would do the development work in Shriwardhan constituency in such away that in the next elections you'll will vote for me again. Three days back BJP's central home minister Amit Shah said that as long as BJP is there in power minorities (muslims) would not be given reservations. To this Mr. Thakur said why religion issues, all are equal, we have taken oath during school college period denoting brotherhood. Further he said that It's God's plan for me to contest, thus I am here to contest this Shriwardhan election and for the developement work. No doubt I am an outsider candidate. But during the recent Loksabha elections held I was nominated as the Co-ordinator for Raigad 32 Loksabha elections by Congress Party. To this every nook and corner of Raigad district, worked for Congress party and the alliance party which benefitted the Raigad Congress party and the workers... I became more bonding to them... Here you can see on the stage that maximum Congress Party from Shriwardhan assembly constituency are here and see on their shoulders with Congress Party's Symbol muffalor worn... Speaking on a leader of Congress party from Shriwardhan, who now switched to NCP AP faction ie. Mr. Mushtaq Antuley who claims to say said that the Congress party has no leaders to contest elections. His statement that flashed in News Paper was shown to the public and also read the headline contents. But to it I would draw his attention that see I am here, not only as Congress party leader but also as a Candidate contesting and being in the fray... So Congress Party's Veteran leader late A.R. Antuley the ex CM of the State and an ex minister in centeral leader his heart must be definetly pained from heaven seeing Musthaq Antuley's sayings... But see how God's plans work and he has sent me here to contest... Regarding to the 70 thousand crorers of water drip reservour scam which has been blamed on Deputy CM Mr. Ajit Pawar. He Mr. Raja Bhau Thakur said see to Ajit Pawar's sayings that must I fill the dam with .......? Nextly to the rumours being made by oppositions about me that I am here indirectly to help Mr. Sunil Tatkare during this elections... This is absolutely false...My late dad hadn't taught me such type of tacts or make some benefits with commissions... So I make my stand clearly that I am here to contest the elections to save the Congress Party and not support opposition. He further said that I am fully confident that my victory is 100 % concretly guaranted one...He further clarified about this in other way that I have been strongly supported from inner hidden tactics from Congress party... He also said that this Shriwardhan Constituency seat is the Congress Bastion area as here late Congress leader Barrister A. R. Antuley's home ground... We are all the family of Congress party... And in other hand all our alliance parties, other hidden unseen hand support from opposition parties too have been supporting me... Today I am overwhelmed because women voters have turned out in large numbers for my open public election programme... Where as males too have turned out but comparing to women seen less. But I know either they might have been restricted or may be some domestic reasons for them too to be in good numbers... My Symbol for the election that has been alloted to me is an "Envelope"... Thus independent Candidate backed by Congress ie. Raja Bhau appealed all the voter's to bless me,vote for me, press the button symbol "Envelope" and elect me as a thumping winner to become an MLA of your constituency. I further look that the symbol gotten in the form of "Envelope" on which I am contesting is said to be sacredly one,concretely recognized as a most loving heart felt and contributions made by the giver through envelope symbol and will vote for it in ballot box. Thus your precious valuable Vote will turn into a miracle one leading me to be your elected candidate... Further he said that opponent candidates are seen literally afraid of me... I would also warn them sternly that if you'll disturb my people then do remember that my name is Raja Thakur... Raja for people and Thakur for those who misbehave. Nextly speaking on issue to speak last, narrated by one of the party worker... To it he said No, on the contrary it's a beginning one from this dias and from today... As in the coming days many local level elections are there in future... Thus will support you'll to contest it. To overcome all this, This assembly election is utmost important to achieve and win for me so that the good times can be brought back for the bastion constituency of Shriwardhan and Congress party... Speaking on MP Rahul Gandhi the opposition leader of Loksabha Mr. Raja Bhau Thakur said that Bharat Jodo Yaatra was held to bring the country citizen together... Holding March walk and praised Rahul Gandhi for it. Raja Bhau nextly said that I have blessings and support from Rahul Gandhi...The same support too is seen on this stage and constituency... This 193 Shriwardhan Assembly Constituency comes under Five Taalukas and all it's Blocks Presidents have stood prominently for me even to the extent level seen from the Raigad District and also State Congress ie. MPCC's General Secretary. If anyone tries to take action on me I darely tell you'll that it is only that Mr. Rahul Gandhi has the right. Speaking on issues like some opponent candidates are adopting to Social media making reels, facebook, instagram, what's app for their elections campaigning... But I would like to tell that such adopted methods would not work out to claim for the development work that one claims... Where as I am visiting door to door and seeking blessings... Now the time has come for you'll to take an appropriate decession to select,vote and elect me as your MLA. Remember that the early representative did not come at all to help you'll... Where as by not taking name Mr. Raja Bhau Thakur drew the attention that MP Mr. Sunil Tatkare is almost at the edge of entering the BJP party and only a single step is left to enter the said. Meanwhile as Mr. Raja Bhau was speaking the police march past ie. Route march was on its way... Pointing at it, he said the same March too be held on the voting day and counting result day bringing citizens to feel care free and feel protected during voting and ended in saying that once you'll elect me I will assure that tremendous development work would be done at all social sectors...
