Murlidhar Mohol’s Double Promotion In BJP, Gets Loksabha Candidacy

Tikam Shekhawat

Pune, 13 March 2024: Amidst speculation and rumors regarding the BJP Pune Lok Sabha candidacy, the party has announced this evening the candidature of Murlidhar Mohol. Mohol’s name was prominent among the much-discussed names in Pune’s political circles. Other top names in the discussion included ex-MLA Jagdish Mulik and Sunil Deodhar, who had been strategic pillars for BJP’s successful political journey in Tripura over the last couple of years. However, political analysts were skeptical about Deodhar’s name following the nomination of Medha Kulkarni to the Rajya Sabha.

In the last year, Mohol has taken significant initiatives to connect with people, including Kumar Vishwas’s program ‘Apne Apne Ram’, blood donation drives, and Kushti championships. His experience as Mayor in the past has also enhanced his eligibility for the ticket.

It will now be interesting to see how the Congress, Rashtrawadi Congress-Sharad Pawar, and AAP reveal their cards. In the opposition, Ravindra Dhangekar’s name is prominent. Political analysts refer to Mohol’s case as a double promotion, as he transitions from a candidacy for city Mayor to a Lok Sabha ticket.
