Rebel Aba Bagul Challenges Congress Leadership Ahead of Maharashtra Polls

Aba Bagul, suspended from Congress for anti-party actions, questions leadership for neglecting him in the Parvati constituency candidacy. With elections nearing, Bagul, hospitalized but eager to campaign, criticizes state leaders for weakening the party. Maharashtra's political scene intensifies as major coalitions prepare for upcoming elections.

In a dramatic turn of events ahead of the upcoming Maharashtra elections, suspended Congress member Aba Bagul has publicly questioned the party's leadership. Bagul, once a contender for a ticket in the Parvati assembly constituency, expressed discontent over being sidelined.

Bagul, who remains hospitalized, accused senior Congress leaders of undermining the party's strength by neglecting commitments. He lamented how, despite being promised a ticket for years, he was overlooked, leading to his current stand as a rebel. He voiced frustration over the silence of the leadership until the deadline for withdrawal of candidatures had passed, questioning their commitment to engaging with dissenters.

As Maharashtra braces for intense political battles, particularly in Baramati where intra-family rivalries unfold within the NCP, the political atmosphere is charged. The elections, set for November 20 with results on November 23, will see these strategies play out, with major alliances vying for control.
