Everyone must have seen the scene of students urinating outside the house of the dean of the engineering college in Aamir Khan's famous film 3 Idiots. These students were also very upset with their dean. Now a similar incident happened in Maharashtra where after the civic elections, elections are now being conducted for the Zilla Parishad. But angry over not being given a ticket for the elections, a person urinated outside the office of Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA.
The matter is of Latur district of Maharashtra. In the district yesterday on Wednesday, a man urinated outside the local office of former Maharashtra minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA Sanjay Bansode as he was angry over his father not being given a ticket for the Zilla Parishad (ZP) elections to be held next month. He expressed his protest by urinating outside the office.
The video of this incident which took place in Udgir tehsil went viral on social media. The protest began when Madhukar Ekurkekar, a long-time social and political activist from Nideban area of Udgir, was refused a ticket by Ajit Pawar's NCP for the Zilla Parishad elections to be held on February 5 next month.
Ekurkekar's family became very sad after the ticket was canceled. Accusing the party leadership of injustice, Madhukar's son Nitin Ekurkekar expressed his anger by urinating outside the office of former minister Bansode. The man shared the video of the protest on his social media handle, but when the matter escalated and controversy started, he deleted the clip.
Madhukar's supporters, who wanted a ticket to contest the Nideban Zilla Parishad elections, claimed that despite working at the grassroots level for years, the party ignored them. Elections are being held in a dozen district councils and 125 panchayat committees in Maharashtra on February 5 next month and the results will be declared two days later.
Earlier, civic elections were held in Maharashtra in which many major parties including Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray) participated. BJP got a big victory in the elections. The grand alliance of BJP and Shiv Sena has got majority in BMC, the country's richest municipal corporation. Now mayors are to be elected in 29 municipal corporations including BMC in the state.
