Hey there, folks! Here’s the latest scoop from the political battleground in Pune. On 4th June, Mahayuti Candidate Murlidhar Mohol from the BJP emerged victorious in the Pune Lok Sabha Constituency, defeating his rival Ravindra Dhangekar from the Indian National Congress by a whopping 1,22,762 votes. Mohol clinched 5,84,171 votes to secure the win. The competition was fierce, with a third contender, Vasant More from Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi, in the mix.
Pune, historically a Congress stronghold, has seen a shift towards the BJP in recent years. The late MP Girish Bapat held the seat for the BJP in 2014 and 2019, and after his passing in 2023, Murlidhar Mohol stepped up as the party’s candidate.
A bit about the man of the hour – Mohol hails from Mutha Village in Mulshi Taluka, Pune, and has a background in wrestling. He’s no stranger to politics, having served as the Mayor of Pune Municipal Corporation and as a corporator for PMC. With strong ties to key BJP leaders in Maharashtra and a history with the RSS, Mohol’s political journey has been eventful.
In terms of wealth, Mohol’s assets total around Rs. 24.32 crore, with significant debt. His movable and immovable properties, along with other investments, paint a picture of his financial status.
Post-election, Mohol pledged to focus on infrastructure development and public transportation in Pune, promising to make the city a top contender nationwide. In an interview, he reiterated his commitment to transforming Pune into a model city.
That’s a wrap on the latest political buzz from Pune. Stay tuned for more updates!
