Civic Polls: Cong Names Abha Singh for Bhopal Mayor, Declares 12 More Names for BMC

Bhopal  —  The Congress on Thursday approved the names of four more mayoral candidates and 12 candidates for the Bhopal Municipal Corporation elections. The biggest upset of the day was caused by Abha Singh, who was named the mayoral candidate for Bhopal.

The decision on Thursday takes the number of total mayoral candidates to the 11 and the number of BMC candidates to be declared by the party so far to 35.

The mayoral candidates declared so far are:

Abha Singh (Bhopal), Rekha Khatik(Sagar), Rekha Verma (Dewas), Manish Tiwari (Sagar), Uma Sengar (Gwalior),  Jayati Lal Jayant (Ratlam), Dinesh Yadav (Jabalpur), Nirmala Devi (Katni), Sardar Prahlad Singh (Rewa),  Sunita Shikargah (Khandwa), Shahnaz Begum (Burhanpur).

The two mayoral candidates yet to declared are Indore and Singrauli, the latter is said to be caught in a lack of consensus between regional leaders.

Though, the Indore nomination is likely to go to either Pankaj Sanghvi or Ashwin Joshi, but the politically astute are still not discounting possibilities of a last minute upset by district Congress chief Pramod Tandon.

The list of BMC candidates announced so far are:

Suchitra Damle (Ward 25), Mahendra Jadhav (26), Geeta Rathore (29), CM Singh Patel (31), Meena Rajesh Maurya (34), Satish Munde (44), Amit Sharma (45), Neeta Ashok Dobey (52), Mahendra Singh Parmar (53), Hariram Prajapati (54), Kalpana Sharma (61), Rakhi Kushwaha (65).

The 23 candidates declared on Wednesday included:

Shamim Farooqui (ward 1), Vatsayan Jain (ward 2), Mahira Salamuddin (ward 5), Kailash Mishra (ward 6), Swati Kaushal (ward 18), Shabista Asif Zaki (ward 22), Santosh (ward 27), Praveen Saxena (ward 28), Tasleem Lashkari (ward 30), Hemlata Raju (ward 36), Krishna Sahu (ward 37), Kalpana Gohil (ward 43), Daisy Rani (ward 47), Kajal Bakhru (ward 49), Rachna Pankaj (ward 51), Mukesh Gajbhiye (ward 56), Fakira Kachke (ward 57), Nirmala Maure (ward 60), Girish Sharma (ward 62), Monica Jain (ward 64), Sunita Mahendra Gurjar (ward 66), Sajid Hussain (ward 68), Shahida Khan (ward 69).
