CPM unhappy with Maha Vikas Aghadi

Nashik: Like Samajwadi Party, state unit of CPM is also unhappy that Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) has not kept its request to allocate at least four seats to the party, including Nashik West seat in Nashik city.
The party gave the AB form to its candidate from Nashik West, D L Karad, who filed his nomination on Monday from the constituency. Moreover, CPM leader Narsayya Adam also filed his nomination on Monday from Solapur City Central assembly constituency. CPM's sitting MLA Vinod Nikole filed his nomination from Dahanu assembly constituency.
From MVA side, UBT candidate Sudhakar Badgujar will contest from this seat. Badgujar will file his nomination on Tuesday, which is the last day for filing nominations, from Nashik West constituency.
Earlier, CPM wanted to contest 12 seats in Maharashtra for the state assembly polls. However, MVA allocated only two seats to CPM, Kalwan and Dahanu. Thereafter, CPM insisted that MVA leave two more seats to the party - Nashik West and Solapur City Central constituency, but MVA did not.
Finally, CPM fielded its candidates from Nashik West and Solapur City Central constituency.
CPM leaders said that they are still hopeful that the MVA will leave these two seats – Nashik West and Solapur City Central – to CPM.
"Talks are still being held with MVA leaders for these two seats, and talks will continue until the last day for withdrawal of nomination on Nov 4," said CPM leaders.
Meanwhile, after filing the nomination from Nashik West, CPM candidate D L Karad told reporters that Nashik West constituency houses two big industrial estates of MIDC. There are over 2 lakh workers in these two MIDC areas. There are issues related to workers and sick units.
"But no one raised the issues of workers in the House in last 15 years. I am contesting the assembly polls to raise issues of these workers in the house," said Karad.
Karad also said that deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis adopted Nashik, but no big industrial project came to Nashik.
