Ravi Landge accused the local leadership
For the first time in the history of Pimpri-Chinchwad, BJP swept the Nationalist Congress Party in the last municipal elections. Then Ravi Landge was elected as an independent and proved to be a corporator who opened the account of BJP’s victory. Like the corporators who have resigned so far, they have also made serious allegations against the local leadership and leaders of the party.
Landge wrote a letter to Chandrakant Patil
Corporator Ravi Landge in his resignation letter to BJP state president Chandrakant Patil said that I started working for BJP from an early age taking inspiration from my father, late Babasaheb Landge and my uncle, late Ankushrao Landge. Both my father and uncle have worked hard for the survival of BJP in Pimpri-Chinchwad. I have seen and experienced his difficulties in my childhood. Since then, BJP’s sanskars have taken root in me. The political birth of my entire family is from BJP. Since joining the party, I have worked with full dedication. He never betrayed the party. He worked hard for the development of the party in Bhosari assembly constituency. He gave strength to the old loyalists of the party and took along with him new workers.
did not discriminate against anyone
He never discriminated between the old and the new keeping in mind the interests of the party. As a loyal BJP worker, I was elected unopposed from Dhawadebasti ward of Bhosari in the 2017 municipal elections. Through this post constantly fought for justice for all, but giving justice to the people needs strong support as a party, which I never got.
MLA Mahesh Landge attacked
Corruption and only corruption has happened in every development work done in Bhosari assembly constituency through the Municipal Corporation. Be it Santpeeth in Chikhali, river improvement project or urban street design project under Bhosari flyover or waste-to-energy project at garbage depot, there is no development work that has been done without corruption. BJP’s city president and MLA Mahesh Landge has given corruption to the BJP. After Mahesh Landge joined BJP, the image of the party has become that of a corrupt party. Seeing such a tarnished image of the party, it is not possible for a loyal worker like me to support it. Despite being in the party, he often strongly opposed the corruption through MLA Mahesh Landge.
Corruption rampant in development works
I had to fight on the streets against the party’s decision to thwart the privatization of Bhori Hospital with the intention of corruption. For the first time in the history of the Municipal Corporation, the Chairman of the Standing Committee of BJP has been arrested by the Bribery Prevention Department in a bribery case. It is clear from this that how much corruption is prevalent in the development works of Bhosari assembly constituency. That’s why now my political breath is suffocating in the party. Conspiracies were hatched to eliminate the political existence of party workers and office bearers loyal to the anti-corruption Bhosari assembly constituency. A loyal worker like me has never been able to gain the strength of the party. At that time the party was not in power, then the loyal workers worked hard to keep the party alive in difficult times, but when the party came to power in the Municipal Corporation, many people came from outside. Now the leadership of the party is in the hands of outsiders. Party leaders forgot that external leadership imposed on loyalists is selfish. Despite repeated complaints at the senior level of the party, to no avail. I am resigning from my primary membership in BJP after suffering five years of continuous injustice and the fact that the party leaders are also supporting the wrongdoers.
